Team News

Luton
Preston
  • New manager Matt Bloomfield could hand a league debut to winter signing Isaiah Jones.
  • Zack Nelson and Lamine Fanne both picked up injuries during the FA Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest.
  • Paul Heckingbottom could reward Milutin Osmajic with a start after he scored twice in the FA Cup on Tuesday night.
  • Jordan Storey recovered in time to face Charlton, so Brad Potts and Robbie Brady are Preston's only injury concerns.

Prediction

  • A 2-1 away defeat to QPR brought an emotional end to Rob Edwards' time as Luton manager, with Matt Bloomfield selected as his replacement following an impressive spell with League One promotion contenders Wycombe.
  • He inherits a side two points clear of the relegation zone after four straight league defeats.
  • Preston built on their 1-1 draw against Oxford United when they faced League One side Charlton in the FA Cup in midweek, beating the London side 2-1 thanks to a Milutin Osmajic brace.
  • The Lilywhites have, however, lost back-to-back away games in the Championship ahead of their trip to Kenilworth Road.
