Underwood likely to be in squad

The left-sided midfielder has suffered from a hamstring injury in recent weeks but may well return on Saturday, much earlier than expected. Other than that there aren't expected to be any changes to the squad.

Midfielder Jeff Whitley is suspended for the Bluebirds after picking up five yellow cards this season, and will be replaced by Neal Ardley or Philip Mulryne. Willie Boland will also miss the match because of injury. Cardiff are currently 9th in the table, 6 points behind the Hatters and on very good form. The last meeting between the two sides came in the Kinnear years. Goals from Steve Howard and Tony Thorpe gave Luton a 2-0 victory over Cardiff City, who under Lennie Lawrence still went up. The last match at Ninian Park resulted in a goalless draw between the two sides.
