David Bell looks set to be fit in time for the visit of Leeds United on Saturday

Hatters manager Mick Harford is expecting a warm welcome from Luton Town fans on Saturday when he leads his team out as manager at Kenilworth Road.

And Harford is hoping that he will be able to once again call upon the services of star winger Bell, who missed the trip to Bournemouth on Tuesday night through injury.

He is also hoping that he will be able to outwit former Chelsea team-mate and current Leeds manager Dennis Wise.

The Luton boss said: "I will be excited about it. Leeds have sold their allocation so it will be a near enough full house. The fans without a doubt will get behind the team and give me a great reception.

"Leeds are having a good season. They have come through their points deduction well. Dennis has put together a very experienced team. The players he has got in the team have been round the block a few times.

"They've had a great season and hopefully it stops on Saturday.

"He (Wise) played with a lot of desire and passion and I'm sure he wants to get his teams to play in the same way.

"They were good times and happy times at Chelsea."
