QPR inflicted a second successive defeat on the Hatters Friday night meaning Nathan Jones' side are now five points off the play-off places, a gap they will look to reduce at the City Ground.

The opposition:

One point and two places separate Town and their counterparts heading into Tuesday’s fixture after Nottingham Forest extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a 1-1 draw against Reading on Saturday.

Following the dismissal of Chris Hughton after a difficult start, former Swansea manager Steve Cooper has steadied the ship with the Reds now six points away from the play-off places.

Last time we met:

Ryan Tunnicliffe scored the only goal in an impressive 1-0 away win at the City Ground last season.
