Donervon Daniels – who scored after coming on from the bench against Derby County – makes his first league start for the Town, with Sonny Bradley dropping out due to injury.

With Bradley unavailable, James Collins wears the captain’s armband this afternoon as the Hatters go in search of back-to-back league wins for the first time in 2020.

January transfer window addition Cameron Carter-Vickers is on the bench after joining the club on loan this week, the only change to the substitutes from Tuesday.

Their fellow centre-half Matty Pearson has recovered from the hip injury that forced him off in the second half of Tuesday's game to start his 76th consecutive league match since joining the Town ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.
