Team News

Luton
Stoke
  • Rob Edwards will likely wait to hand a debut to Aston Villa loanee Marvelous Nakamba as he builds up fitness following a shortage of game time in the Premier League.
  • Expect a couple of changes to the midfield with Louie Watson and Allan Campbell both expected to return.
  • Alex Neil could hand out a string of debuts this weekend with Axel Tuanzebe, Ben Pearson and Ki-Jana Hoever all likely to start.
  • Connor Taylor picked up an injury in the 3-1 FA Cup win against Stevenage and will miss the trip to Kenilworth Road.

Prediction

  • Luton had Elijah Adebayo to thank on Tuesday night as his last-gasp goal ensured that the home side snatched the three points against a relegation-threatened Cardiff. Rob Edwards has taken the Hatters to the next level with the hosts now having won five of their last six league games.
  • Stoke have enjoyed an injection of life in the past few weeks, following up a 4-0 demolition of Reading with a convincing home win against Stevenage in the FA Cup. The Potters have struggled to move forward under Alex Neil, but this could be the start of some consistent form.
