Bournemouth striker makes play-off claim that will stun Nottingham Forest

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.

But despite the odds being stacked against the Hatters, Bournemouth forward Moors believes Nathan Jones' side could take everybody by surprise.

"I think it will be tight but I’m going for Luton," Moore said. "I know they are probably the outsiders but I fancy them.

"They’ve got a good squad mentally. I know a few of their players as well and, if they can really come together, which I’m sure they can, they’ve got every chance."

Will Luton beat Huddersfield in their play-off game? Let us know in the comments section.
