Following Carabao Cup disappointment in midweek, the Hatters turn their focus back to the Sky Bet Championship and securing a first win of the season having drawn the first two.

The opposition:

Preston have started their league campaign with two goalless draws against Wigan Athletic and Hull City respectively.

They did, however, claim their first win of the season in midweek with a thumping 4-1 win against fellow Championship side Huddersfield Town in the Carabao Cup.

Midfielder Ali McCann may well have played himself into contention for Saturday's match after netting a brace, with Manchester United loanee Alvaro Fernandez setting him up on both occasions.

Last time we met:

It was an evening to remember when Preston were last in town, as Nathan Jones' side swept them aside and earned themselves a superb 4-0 win at Kenilworth Road.

Midfielder Luke Berry scored either side of a Fred Onyedinma strike, whilst the win was set in stone when Bambo Diaby netted an unfortunate own goal.
