Action continues in round 11 of the Championship as Luton Town and Sunderland square off at Kenilworth Road on Wednesday.
Luton returned to winning ways in style with a 3-0 home victory Watford at the weekend. Before that, the Hatters were on a three-game winless run, losing twice.
The hosts have won three of their 10 Championship games, losing five, and are 17th in the points table, level on points with Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle.
Sunderland, meanwhile, maintained their fine run of results with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hull City at the MKM Stadium. Since losing 2-1 against Watford last month, the Black Cats men have won two of their subsequent three outings, with a 2-2 draw against Leeds United sandwiched between the two victories.
With 22 points from 10 matches, Sunderland are atop the Championship standings, one point above second-placed Burnley.
