Luton were not even considered as play-off contenders by most people prior to the start of the Championship season.

Yet on a shoestring budget, Nathan Jones has somehow inspired his team to a sixth place finish and now they are within touching distance of the top flight.

They face Huddersfield in the semi-finals - a side which ended the regular campaign in third, six points adrift of the automatic promotion spots.

Carlos Corberan’s men will be confident they can beat Luton over two legs to reach Wembley, but you get the sense they won’t have it all their own way.

Team News

Luton will be without Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu and Elijah Adebayo for the game on Friday night. They are expected to field the same team which beat Reading on the final day of the regular campaign.
