History of the Bristol City v Luton Town fixture

Luton Town face a trip to Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Hatters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 5 of the 26 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
