Luton Town - Luton have almost a full squad to choose from. Both Chris Coyne and Sol Davis have recovered fully from injuries that saw both players miss all or part of the first game. The only player that will definitely miss out tomorrow is Paul Underwood. Underwood missed most of the pre-season campaign and the start of the season with an infection and he will also have to sit out Saturday's trip to Norwich as well. Despite being available for selection, Chris Coyne will probably not start tomorrow's match. Coyne is still not thought to be match fit after a recurrence of his knee injury, so the in-form Leon Barnett will continue to partner Marcus Heikkinen in central defence. The same applies to Adam Boyd, so he will have to settle for a place on the bench behind Rowan Vine and Warren Feeney. Tomorrow's team will probably be unchanged:
Beresford (GK), Davis (DL), Foley (DR), Barnett (DC), Heikkinen (DC), Emanuel (ML), Edwards (MR), Langley (MC), Robinson (capt) (MC), Vine (SC), Feeney (SC)

Norwich City - Norwich City are also likely to field an unchanged side. Nigel Worthington will probably keep the same team that beat Preston North End 2-0. Midfielder Andy Hughes is likely to return to the squad after injury, but Worthington may not drop any of the midfield that played against Preston. Players who are definitely out are Mathieu Louis-Jean, Rossi Jarvis, Robert Green and Ian Henderson. Norwich City have had a very respectable start to the season. Despite playing well at Leeds United, City failed to pick up any points at Elland Road, and got their first win of the season on Tuesday at home to Preston. Last season saw Norwich finish just outside the play-offs just like Luton, so this season will probably see Norwich make another push for the play-offs, or even automatic promotion. This means that Saturday's trip to Carrow Road should be the toughest of the season for Luton.
Prediction
If the form of both teams last season and the start of this season is anything to go by, then tomorrow's match should be a very closely fought match. Unfortunately for Luton, I think that this will see the end of our 100% record, as well as the 100% record of the defence. I don't think we'll lose though, I'm predicting a 2-2 draw, with Vine and Feeney breaking their goalscoring ducks.
