Coventry v Luton preview
Tuesday 13 March 2018 18:23, UK
Coventry boss Mark Robins has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit of high-flying Luton.
The Sky Blues sit on the periphery of the play-off places in Sky Bet League Two after beating lowly Barnet on Saturday. Defender Jordan Willis was available for that game after suspension but did not feature and will be pushing to be involved this time around.
Veteran midfielder Carl Baker is awaiting his second debut for Coventry after rejoining last week while Tom Davies (fractured collarbone), Jodi Jones and Tony Andreu (both knee) are out.
Luton sit second in the table but have not won in three games. The Hatters were knocked off the summit by Accrington after they won at Kenilworth Road at the weekend.
Victory over Coventry will see Nathan Jones' side regain top-spot and they will be boosted by the return of James Collins after serving a one-match ban. Lawson D'Ath remains sidelined with a knee problem with Harry Cornick in contention for a start having come off the bench against Accrington following a hamstring problem.
