Kenilworth Road trip for play-off chasing Latics
Oldham travel to Kenilworth Road in the knowledge victory over Luton could propel them into the League One play-offs.
Luton look doomed for the drop, marooned as they are 11 points from safety, but manager Mick Harford is adamant his side will battle until the bitter end.
While Oldham's form has been good of late, John Sheridan's side have picked back-to-back wins over Tranmere and Bournemouth, a congested treatment room is cause for real concern.
Mark Crossley, David Livermore, Jordan Robertson, Mark Allott, Lee Hughes, Craig Davies, Sean Gregan, Michael Pearson, Andy Liddell and Paul Black are all ruled out for the trip south.
Brighter news for Sheridan is the return to fitness of loan signing Jason Jarrett, who has recovered from an ankle knock.
Goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell, signed on a seven day loan on Friday from Sheffield Wednesday, will step in for Crossley.
Luton news
Harford is boosted by the return of Steve Robinson after the Northern Ireland midfielder missed the 2-1 defeat at Carlisle on Tuesday night through tonsillitis, but is healthy enough to return to the middle against the Latics.
Stephen O'Leary and Alan Goodall are also back from illness and could start while Lewis Emanuel is also fit after his groin injury.
Teenage striker Ryan Charles - just 18 - made his full debut for the Hatters at Carlisle and will be hoping to keep Calvin Andrew and Sam Parkin on the bench.
Midfielders Darren Currie (knee) and Don Hutchison (leg) are both not fully fit but could again be on the bench while Harford revealed some good news as long-term absentee Richard Langley is back in training after his broken leg and 'two or three weeks' away from a reserve-team outing.
Paul Underwood - who is approaching two years out of action - remains a long-term absentee while Paul Peschisolido has been ruled out for the season with an ankle injury.
