    Long time since we’ve seen this fixture, should win, but could lose by a goal. Fugging rubbish season in the second tier...can’t get excited for this one! :emoticon-0103-cool::emoticon-0103-cool:

    Luton could give a first start to on-loan Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, with Sonny Bradley a doubt.

    Winger Callum McManaman has overcome a hamstring strain, but Brendan Galloway, Eunan O'Kane and Danny Hylton miss out.

    Albert Adomah is set to make his Cardiff debut after joining on loan from Nottingham Forest on deadline day.

    Dion Sanderson could also make his first appearance, having arrived from Wolves, and Lee Tomlin, Sean Morrison and Alex Smithies are set to return.

    Match facts
    • Luton haven't hosted Cardiff for a league match since New Year's Day in 2007, drawing 0-0 at Kenilworth Road.
    • Cardiff are looking to secure their first league double over Luton since the 1979-80 campaign.
    • Luton have lost 20 of their opening 30 league matches this season; 24 of the last 25 sides in England's top four tiers to lose at least 20 games at this stage have gone on to be relegated, with the exception being Dagenham and Redbridge in 2011-12 in League Two.
    • Cardiff have only lost two of their last 14 matches in the Championship (W5 D7), though they have both been away from home (vs Brentford and QPR).
    • Luton have made 632 defensive actions in the Championship this season, the fewest of any side in the competition.
    • Cardiff have had 51 sequences of at least 10 passes in open play this season, the fewest of any side in the Championship, and some 394 fewer than the team with the most - Fulham (445).

    Happy memories of a March away day Friday trip in 1980 to Kenilworth Road to witness a Gary Stevens/John Buchanan duo blast us to a 2-1 win:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Glad I chose that time to go rather than 2 seasons earlier when we lost 7-1<doh>

    My first ever trip to Luton today. Peaceful drive up with no BfB to moan at me. Found a local greasy spoon and now tucking in to a late breakfast :emoticon-0133-wait:

    Thought Sanderson would have made the bench in case Jazz was having another mare. Suppose Bacuna could replace him though.

    Other than that, a bench full of attacking options. Ward and Glatzel would add something different, but I bet he brings Hoilett on again. <doh>

    Much the same as in 1971 then but, as Blueturk alludes to on the Prediction League thread, a few more places of alternative worship and commerce. <whistle>

    Bacuna made a real difference when he came on v Reading. Certainly quicker than Pack

    Shockingly bad after a bright first 10 minutes.

    Paterson is not a centre forward.

    I wonder why I'm bothering to listen to this crap. No cohesion, no skill and no hope at this rate.

    Time for Harris to earn his corn at the break. Change something, because at the moment there's only going to be one winner - and it ain't us.

    You’re lucky not to be watching it <doh>

    As you say a change needed as Luton are running rings around us.

    Paterson on his own up top is just a waste of space.
