TEAM NEWS

Lanre Oyebanjo (knee) and Joe McNerney (knee) are missing for the Reds. Gavin Tomlin scored in Reds' defeat to Portsmouth on Tuesday and could be involved this weekend. Mitch Hancox won't be involved as his parent club Birmingham City do not want him cup-tied.

Hatters' boss John Still is hoping that full back Sean Long, who is on loan from Reading, will be allowed to play by his parent club.


THE FORM GUIDE                

Mark Yates' side have won four of their last five fixtures and currently sit 16th in the league table. They come into the clash off the back of a 1-0 victory over York City, which saw Simon Walton score his third goal in five games.

The Hatters have won one of their last three games since we met in October, but John Still brings his side into the weekend off the back of a 2-0 victory against Dagenham and Redbridge, thanks to goals from Luke Guttridge and Alex Lawless.


VIEW FROM THE BENCH


: "I don't think what happened in the league game three weeks ago will have any bearing on Saturday. That was a difficult game and Saturdays will be as well but it's the FA Cup and we'd love to be in the hat for the third round."   Mark Yates


WE’VE MET BEFORE?

The Reds welcomed Luton to West Sussex three weeks ago in Sky Bet League Two fixture when Mark Yates' side came back from a goal down to beat the Hatters 2-1 thanks to second-half goals from Rhys Murphy and Matt Harrold.
