Returning to the side after serving a one-match suspension is midfielder Olly Lee, the man who netted that stunning 70-yard strike in the 7-0 win over Cambridge last Saturday to earn a new song from the travelling Hatters fans – to the tune of The Beatles' Let It Be – ‘Scoring from St Albans, Olly Lee!’

Also back in the starting XI after netting as a substitute in Tuesday’s 3-0 win over Carlisle, that took the Town back to the top of the table, is striker Harry Cornick. Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu and Andrew Shinnie drop to the bench.
