Luton Town midfielder Pelly Mpanzu: Brentford a must-win game

Luton Town midfielder Pelly Mpanzu believes winning their home games is critical to staying in the Premier League.

The minnows have only five games remaining of their season to ensure they do not go straight back down to the Championship.

The midfielder knows that time and points are against them, but believes they can get enough wins to squeak over the line.

Mpanzu stated: “We've got got five cup finals. I think we can take points out of every game we play, so hopefully we can achieve that and come 19th of May we're still in the Premier League.

“We know we're strong at home and we can maximise our efforts and points at home. We're aware Brentford haven't been too bad so our home games are vital to us. No-one likes coming to Kenilworth Road, so hopefully we can put that to our advantage and go and gain some points. The fans are going to support us home and away and hopefully they bring the energy against Brentford.

“As a club, we're doing better than everyone expected. Everyone said you'll be relegated by December, everyone said you'll be relegated by January and here we are, five games to go, still in with a chance of surviving, so the team has been doing great."
