With a 2-1 win against Charlton Athletic on Tuesday evening, Town moved out of the relegation zone and ended a run of five consecutive losses.
Another three points on the board could see the Hatters climb up to 18th place with what would be their first away win since beating Blackburn Rovers in September.
Brentford were unable to stretch their two-game winning run after losing to Rovers in midweek as they remain eighth in the table, three points away from the play-off places.

GRAEME JONES SAID:
On Brentford: “They’ve got David Raya who they spent a lot of money on, they’ve got Benrahma, Watkins, some really good players. It’s a difficult place to go but I think we’ve gained confidence in our performances in the last week so we will look forward to the challenge.
On their recruitment process: “They received £20 million for Neal Maupay and they’ve spent a lot of money as well but nobody wants to lose their best striker. I think their method of work is quite different, they do things with stats and the old Billy Beane approach I think but I’m not too sure.
“I think the owner was into that kind of thing. We look at stats but it’s not the fundamental thing we look at but I think they're a growing football club. They’re a good example, they’re a mainstay in the division, they’re always competitive and they have a style of play that they’re quite sure on, it’s quite recognisable so there’s a lot of good things going on at Brentford.
On Ollie Watkins: “He can penetrate, he can score goals with his head, he can score goals with his feet. He interchanges positions with Benrahma, can obviously play out-wide or through the middle but it’s another challenge in this league.
