Luton Town vs Newcastle United
Brown sets off on a run towards the box and lets fly from 20 yards, but this one's a much more comfortable save for Dubravka and the Magpies' keeper holds the ball!
Luton Town vs Newcastle United
SAVED!!! Bell skips around the outside of Trippier and enters the box before cutting back from the byline. His cross finds Brown, whose first-time shot at the near post is parried away from danger by a sprawling Dubravka!

CHANCE!!! Townsend's in-swinging cross bounces awkwardly in the Newcastle box, with Brown just inches away from getting on the end of it and Lascelles forced into an awkward clearance that sends the ball behind for the game's first corner!

The teams head out onto the pitch amidst a packed-out Kenilworth Road, and there's no doubt whatosever that everyone behind the Hatters will have Tom Lockyer in their thoughts throughout what should be a thoroughly entertaining contest.

Elijah Adebayo’s third-minute goal got the Hatters off to a flying start against Bournemouth prior to the match being abandoned, and leads the line once more with Jacob Brown and former Newcastle winger Andros Townsend flanking him up front.
