Ipswich Town travel to take on Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tractor Boys will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Luton Town was back in September 1998, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in an League Cup match.
