Coventry captain Michael Doyle could be recalled against Luton after being omitted for the first time since his return to the Ricoh Arena.
Doyle was left on the bench for the 2-1 defeat at Walsall and boss Mark Robins is considering how he should be used with the busy Christmas period ahead.
Robins made five changes for the injury-time defeat by Walsall and could perform additional surgery to his team in response to their collapse on Saturday.
Luton have been unchanged for six games in a row and have been rewarded by a sequence of five wins and a draw. Now boss Nathan Jones must decide whether it is time to freshen up his side with the festive schedule approaching.
Among those eager for a start is star striker Danny Hylton, who has been playing a supporting role from the bench despite being the club's leading scorer for the last two seasons.
Coventry have lost just one of their last 28 home league games against Luton (W21 D6), a 1-0 defeat on New Year's Day 1987 in the top-flight.
After drawing 2-2 in their most recent league meeting back in March, Luton will be looking to avoid defeat in back-to-back league games against Coventry for the first time since September 1990.
Coventry are winless in five league games (D2 L3), after a run of five consecutive wins.
Luton are unbeaten in their last eight league games, winning seven of them and conceding just three goals.
Coventry boss Mark Robins has won three of his four league games against Luton as a manager, drawing the other 2-2 in League Two in March last season.
