Luton are hoping to maintain their dream of playing in the Premier League for the first time with a strong home result.

They have been battling an injury crisis in recent weeks, but their fitness woes have been lifted slightly in recent days as James Bree, Sonny Bradley and Allan Campbell all returned to the squad recently. 

Luton are facing a team who approach the game on a seven-game unbeaten run.

Huddersfield won six and drew one as they finished the regular season in excellent form to take third place in the second tier.

The visitors have some injury problems, too, as Sorba Thomas, Ryan Schofield, Matty Person and Alex Vallejo may all miss the match.
