Caretaker manager Alan Neilson and coaches Kevin Watson and Dmitri Kharine go in search of their second victory in temporary charge of the Hatters at Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday.

Last weekend's 2-1 win over Tamworth lifted much of the gloom around Kenilworth Road following the defeat to Stevenage and depature of Mick Harford.

Like last Saturday, the trip to Worcestershire will be a real test as Harriers are in a decent run of form which has catapulted them to the fringes of the play-off positins and a win for Mark Yates' side would see them leapfrog the Town in the Blue Square Premier table.

Kiddy are certainly enjoy playing in front of their own supporters and the Aggborough faithful have enjoyed five wins from seven fixtures at Aggborough.

However, the Hatters can take an enormous amount of heart following their last match on the road when they won 4-3 at Cambridge against all the odds.

The Town's last trip to this part of the world saw them hit four past Kidderminster on their sole visit to Aggborough back in January 2002 and Hatters fans everywhere would be more than happy for a repeat performance.

Team news:

Hatters: Alan Neilson has one major fitness worry ahead of the clash as striker Liam Hatch will face a late fitness test on a troublesome ankle injury. Kevin Gallen (shoulder), Andy Burgess (hamstring), Lewis Emanuel (toe) and Keith Keane (knee) are all out.

Kidderminster: Boss Mark Yates has no injury or suspension problems.

From the men in charge:

Alan Neilson talking to lutontown.co.uk: "There are never any easy games. Kidderminster are on a good run but so were Tamworth who were unbeaten in eight games until last week, but we can't worry too much about Kidderminster we have to concentrate on our own game.

"If we play to the best our ability, pass the ball well and work hard we are confident we can get the three points.

"Kidderminster have got some experienced players at this level but so have we with a good blend of young players and hopefully, on the day, our 11 players will be better than their 11.

"We've had them watched but we've prepared in the right way and we'll approach the game in the right manner."

Kidderminster manager Mark Yates talking to harriers.co.uk: "This is a really tough league and I think, even going back to when this club came down, it's really difficult to get your bearings straight away. For whatever the reason, maybe a club can be on a bit of a downer.

"Luton are a bit different in that respect in that they perhaps didn't deserve to go down last season, and they also won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

"So they're a club who probably weren't as down as most but they've still found out that there are some really good teams in this division - and if you're not on your game, you get beat.

"They're a big club without a shadow of a doubt - they've obviously got a big budget and good, experienced players - tomorrow is going to be a really difficult game."

Kidderminster's current form: W W L D W

It's one defeat in seven for Mark Yates' side with two consecutive wins without conceding a goal pushing the Worcestershire side to the fringes of the play-offs: one point and one place below the Town in the BSP table.

Impressive victories against Wrexham and, in particular, at AFC Wimbledon, have given the Aggborough outfit a much-needed confidence boost and in-front of the Harriers faithful they have won five and lost two of their seven home matches.

Their two defeats on home soil came against Kettering and Eastbourne but since the set-back against Sports on 5th September they have rattled off three straight wins at home including a 3-1 thumping of Mansfield Town.

We met the Harriers twice in 2001/02, our promotion season from Division Three, winning 4-1 at Aggborough and 1-0 at home.

The Hatters were not made particularly welcome on their only visit to Worcestershire when a flu epidemic amongst the Luton squad led to Joe Kinnear calling off the original game in December.

Kinnear's side won 4-1 in the fixture that was eventually played on a Tuesday night in January. After falling behind five minutes into the second half the Town got on top and two goals from Matthew Spring and one each from Matt Taylor and Steve Howard clinched all the points.

At Kenilworth Road two months later a single strike from Paul Hughes was enough to earn the Town a double over Harriers that season.

Recent history:

Harriers are another club plying their trade in the Conference who have experience of playing league football.

Their stay among the top 92 teams in the country ended following relegation in 2004/05 - the season the Hatters were promoted to the Championship.

It was former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby that brought league football to Aggborough for the first time in their history when the Harriers stormed to the Conference title in 1999/2000 - beating off title rivals Rushden & Diamonds by nine points.

The Worcestershire outfit were first promoted to the Conference (then known as the Alliance Premier Division) in 1983 and 11 years later they were crowned the kings of non-league football after winning the Conference title in 1994.

However, the Football League refused the Kiddy faithful the chance of witness league football as Aggborough failed to reach the required stadium criteria.

That season, 1993/94, Harriers shot to prominence in the FA Cup, reaching the fifth round, losing to West Ham United - who then went on to lose out to the Hatters in the quarter finals.

The club's fine cup pedigree extends to the FA Trophy with a victory in the 1987 final as well as finishing runners-up four time including their most recent trip to Wembley when they lost to Stevenage Borough 3-2 (after leading 2-0) at Wembley in 2007.

Stevenage also pipped Harriers to a place in the Conference play-offs last season by two points in their best finish in the league since returning to the division.

FACT: Kidderminster were hosts to the world's first ever match that was officiated by three female officials when playing Nuneaton Borough in 1999. Referee Wendy Toms booked four players. Lineswomen were Janie Frampton and Amy Rayner.
