West Bromwich Albion welcome Luton Town to The Hawthorns for the final game of the 2024/25 campaign on Saturday lunchtime (ko 12.30pm).
The Baggies have had a frustrating season, but will be determined to end it with three points in front of their own supporters this weekend.
Visitors Luton are fighting to stay in the Sky Bet Championship and go into the last fixture of the year one place and one point above the drop zone. The Hatters have won three matches in-a-row, but still have work to do if they're to retain their second-tier status.
The two teams drew 1-1 at Kenilworth Road back in November. Josh Maja and Tahith Chong were the scorers that night. Supporters can watch both goals below.

The visitors
The equation is simple for Luton Town on Saturday. Win at The Hawthorns and they'll be a Sky Bet Championship team once again in 2025/26.
The Hatters, who are hoping to avoid a second consecutive relegation after falling out of the Premier League in 2023/24, are one point and one place above Hull City, with the Tigers occupying 22nd position in the table.
It's been an incredibly disappointing season for this weekend's visitors. Luton's aspirations at the start of the term would have been to challenge for promotion straight back to the top flight, but sadly for them, it hasn't worked out that way.
No team in the second tier has lost more games than Town's 22, but they'll be glad they've got their destiny in their own hands going into the 46th and final fixture of the year.
Matt Bloomfield's men will arrive in the West Midlands in confident mood despite their precarious position. They've won three matches in-a-row for the first time since January 2024, scoring an injury-time winner at home to Coventry City in their most recent encounter.
Bloomfield, the former boss of Colchester United and Wycombe Wanderers, took over in the middle of January following Rob Edwards' departure and has won six, drawn six and lost seven of his 19 games in charge.
The Hatters have the fourth-worst away record in the Championship, collecting just 15 points from their 22 battles away from Kenilworth Road. Ten of those points have come in the last four trips, mind, with Luton earning crucial victories at relegation rivals Cardiff City, Hull City and Derby County, while also drawing at Stoke - another team threatened by the drop to Sky Bet League One.
One from the history books
Albion scored two late goals to come from behind and beat Luton Town in the second tier in January 2007.
Jason Koumas gave the hosts the lead, but efforts from Keith Keane and Warren Feeney had the visitors leading 2-1 going into the final three minutes.
With time running out, Kevin Phillips popped up not once, but twice, to seal all three points in dramatic fashion.

The stats
West Bromwich Albion are unbeaten in their last six home matches in all competitions against Luton Town (W5, D1). The Hatters' last triumph at The Hawthorns came in April 1996 when they won 2-0 in a Division One encounter.
Baggies caretaker boss James Morrison only played once against Luton in his playing career. He completed 90 minutes in Albion's 1-0 Carabao Cup triumph at The Hawthorns in August 2018.
Visitors Luton have won three consecutive matches. The Hatters haven't won four in-a-row in all competitions since a run of six between July and September in 2020.
Matt Bloomfield's side have taken 18 points from the last 27 on offer, losing just once in the last nine games. If the table was based on the last ten fixtures, the Hatters would be sat sixth.
