History of the Burnley v Luton Town fixture

Luton Town travel to take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday 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 ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Burnley was back in March 2000, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division Two match.
