The BS Conference side are one of the favourites for automatic promotion back to the Football League and are currently second in the table behind AFC Wimbledon:
Luton Town | P 28 | W 17 | D 6 | L 5 | F 57 | A 22 | GD 35 | Pts 57 |
The potential clash will evoke memories of the only other time the two teams have met in the 2002/03 season when the Lions visited Kenilworth Road in the First Round of the FA Cup where the home team – who were a League side at that time – triumphed 4-0.
The Hatters have so far defeated our fellow BSN colleagues Gloucester City 1-0 in the Third Round last Friday having previously disposed of Welling United from the BS South 2-1 after the first game ended goalless and then a 4-0 home victory over Southern League Uxbridge. Luton website
