Voltar
Clash of the fallen giants.
On paper, the game today could be described as one of the biggest of the season with two former Premier League clubs going head-to-head.
Both Leicester City and Luton Town were among the bookmakers favourites to be promoted prior to the season startig, but both have not, as of yet, justified that faith with Luton Town sitting in 13th place in the EFL League One table and Leicester City in 10th place.
Last time out, Luton Town beat Barnsley, 2-1, while Leicester City had a fine 4-0 win away to Bromley.
Both sides enter this game keen to take the three points and further climb the table.
Against Barnsley, Hakeem Odoffin, limped off with an injury, will he have recovered enough to make the starting XI although the pre-match rumours suggest he will not.?
Also, it was mentioned that Harrison Ashby was close to being selected, for the same match, but just missed out.
Will Ashby be given a start in what might see a defensive shuffle?
With the kick-off fast approaching, the quaint old ground starting to fill up and the atmosphere building, we are now able to bring you the confirmed team sheets.
Starting with Luton Town:
Team – Shea, Jones, Andersen, Naismith, Johnston, Walsh, Clark, Mendel, Donley, Palmer, Wells
Substitutes – Keeley, Richards, Marshall, Lawrence, Johnson, Mengi, Cole
Continuing with our visitors, Leicester City:
Team – McCarthy, O’Hora, Souttar, Okoli, Alves, Page, Lundstram, Thomas, Braybrooke, Doyle, Riis
Substitutes – Ravizolli, Kangasniemi, Burns, Chaplin, Smallbone, Cullen, De Cordova, Reid
As for those officiating, look no further;
Referee – Martin Woods
Assistant Referee – Marc Wilson
Assistant Referee – Carl Fitch-Jackson
Fourth Official – Alan Dale
A lot is at stake today, back-to-back wins will see the Hatters climb possibly as high as 9th in the table, if results go our way.
However, with my head overruling my heart, I reckon this game is going to end all-square, as a 1-1 draw, how about you?
