Moore makes shock prediction
Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore believes Luton Town have what it takes to stun their play-off rivals and seal a remarkable promotion to the Premier League.
The Championship play-offs get under way on Friday night when the Hatters host Huddersfield at Kenilworth Road in the first leg of their showdown.
Luton are the rank outsiders to win promotion to the top flight with Steve Cooper's Forest side highly fancied to return to the Premier League since they were relegated in 1999.

Sheffield United could hatch Forest plan
Sheffield United's players could be treated to an inspirational video ahead of their clash against Nottingham Forest this weekend as they prepare for the first leg of their play-off showdown.
The Blades host the Reds at Bramall Lane in what is a mouthwatering contest as they look to chase the dream of promotion to the Premier League.
And Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom has not ruled out taking a leaf out of Real Madrid's book after Carlo Ancelotti showed his galaxy of stars a motivational film ahead of their thrilling Champions League win over Manchester City.
Heckingbottom says he has used the tactic before at United this season and will not be afraid to do it again if it can give his side the edge.
Heckingbottom told The Star : “Pictures can often illustrate something a lot more clearly and powerfully than words. So if it’s relevant to what we are saying or trying to do, then we definitely do it. We’ve done things like this quite a lot in the past and it’s something we’ll readily do again in the future.”
Transfer blow
Blackpool have confirmed that they have triggered a 12-month extension clause on the contract on Nottingham Forest target Josh Bowler.
The winger was originally due to be out of contract with the club at the end of the season after signing a one-year deal in the summer of 2021. That has however now been extended by a further year, allowing the club to either keep hold of the player or get a transfer fee this summer.
His performances have caught the eye this season with Fores t making a move for the player back in January. Multiple bids were turned down by the Tangerines from both Forest and Championship rivals Bournemouth.
Despite the interest, Bowler remained at Bloomfield Road, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in the Championship this season. Blackpool are said to be keen on offering the 23-year-old a longer term deal in order to secure his future at the club but they could be open to selling should a deal not be agreed with the player over the next couple of months.
Jenkinson wins title but exit looms
Carl Jenkinson's career at Nottingham Forest may not have hit the heights he expected, but he's still ended the season with a league title under his belt.
The Reds right-back is currently on loan at Melbourne City and helped them become champions for the second successive season with a win over A-League rivals Wellington Phoenix.
Jenkinson is now set to return to the Reds, but the chances of him salvaging his career at the City Ground are slim after Cooper granted him a move away from the club in January.
