With the play-offs well in sight, Luton Town will be hoping to make even more progress in their push for a top-six spot when they visit Stoke City tomorrow night.

Nathan Jones’ men coming into tomorrow’s clash brimming with confidence after a thoroughly professional performance saw them run out as 2-0 winners against West Brom on Saturday.

Despite belief growing, Luton do not possess the best of recent records against the Potters, something that Jones and Co. will be eager to address.

Competition for a starting spot in goal is starting to heat up within the Hatters camp, with Jed Steer keeping a clean sheet on his league debut for Luton at the weekend, and it would be no surprise to see the Aston Villa loanee in-between the sticks once more.

Tom Lockyer and Gabe Osho look the likely candidates to start against the Potters tomorrow, with Reece Burke and Sonny Bradley both unavailable against the Baggies.

James Bree has played 2,609 minutes of Championship football for Luton this season, and whilst Peter Kioso has been recalled to provide competition, the 24-year-old remains above the former Hartlepool man in the pecking order.

Amari’i Bell enjoyed perhaps his best outing in a Luton shirt on Saturday against West Brom, with the wing-back the likely option for the left wing-back role.

Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu is likely to keep his place in the middle of the midfield, whilst Henri Lansbury could be restored to the starting XI.

Allan Campbell was excellent against Steve Bruce’s men at the weekend and should be awarded another start.

Cameron Jerome proved to be a real threat for the Hatters on Saturday, however, Harry Cornick could be brought back in to add pace and relentlessness to the front line.
