Johnny Mullins comes into the back four in place of captain Scott Cuthbert, who suffered a groin injury early in the second half of Saturday’s 7-0 win over Cambridge.

And Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu gets the nod in midfield with Olly Lee ruled out after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season before netting his 70-yard wonder strike from deep inside his own half four days ago.

The Hatters, who have suffered just one defeat in their last 12 league games, are looking for a victory that will see them return to the top of the table if Notts County fail to beat Yeovil Town at Huish Park tonight.
