Two sides battling it out at opposite ends of the table go head-to-head
Rock-bottom Luton face a tough task on Saturday as they play host to high-flying Exeter.
The Hatters' cause is looking increasingly desperate, despite a four-game unbeaten run taking them to within 14 points of safety.
Exeter are more concerned with events towards the top of the table, with a play-off place now well within reach following a run of seven games without defeat.
Luton team news
Luton boss Mick Harford could welcome back George Pilkington and Ian Roper for the weekend encounter.
Pilkington, who has not featured since early December due to a metatarsal injury, played the full 90 minutes of the reserves' 0-0 draw against Ipswich on Wednesday.
Roper (knee) also played in that match to put himself in contention.
Rossi Jarvis (knee) missed Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Gillingham and is expected to be out for another fortnight while captain Kevin Nicholls (hamstring) is closing in on a return along with Lewis Emanuel.
Harford said: "Nico and Lewis are close to a return.
"Rossi had a scan. It's not major damage, but he has a little problem with his knee and it's maybe two weeks."
Meanwhile, Sam Parkin will again be included after returning from illness in time to play the full 90 minutes against Gillingham.
Exeter team news
Exeter boss Paul Tisdale is boosted by the return to fitness of midfielder Bertie Cozic ahead of the trip to Kenilworth Road.
The Frenchman has been ruled out with a rib injury but is back in training and set to feature for the Grecians as they look to extend their unbeaten run to eight matches.
Defender Steve Tully (knee) and striker Ben Watson (calf) are ruled out of the trip.
However, Tully should return for next Tuesday's home match against Bournemouth.
