Luton defender Mengi: We'll face Everton convinced we're staying up

Luton Town defender Teden Mengi says they must be strong mentally tonight against Everton.

The Hatters need to win to keep their survival hopes alive.

Mengi said: “We prepare with the mindset that we're going to stay in the league. We go in with full confidence because really and truly we've got nothing to lose at all. I've got full confidence in the team that we can do what it takes to stay in the league.

"It (Wolves loss) doesn't leave us in a bad position but we go into those games with full confidence.

“It's a good game for us to look forward to, especially at home with our fans, so we have that advantage. Forgetting about the run that we've been on, we're going into the game with full confidence that we can beat them, believing we can stay in the league, that's what we're going to aim to do."

He added: “I'm feeling good, I'm feeling great. I'm willing to play and help the team, so I'm ready to do the business as always. We all want to play our part in the team when we can. We'll all do whatever it takes to get on the pitch and to fight to stay in this league which is everyone's goal, so we'll go above and beyond to do that."
