Luton Town prepare to entertain Rushden & Diamonds at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 2 of the previous 3 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Kenilworth Road was just last season, in October 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.
