The Hatters face off with Blackpool in front of the Sky Sports cameras at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon.

On the back of two successive wins against Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City over the Easter Period, the Hatters will look to make it three out of three and strengthen their play-off credentials.

Blackpool will arrive at Kenilworth Road full of confidence after scoring six against Birmingham City in their last match. 

The Seasiders ran riot and ended a run of five matches without a win in style, taking them within two points of rivals Preston North End with a game in hand.

Shayne Lavery is their top scorer with 10 goals, whilst Jerry Yates, Josh Bowler and Gary Madine have all contributed eight goals each. 

 

Last time we met:

The Hatters were good value for a 3-0 win in terrible conditions back in December, thanks to goals from Sonny Bradley, Elijah Adebayo and Jordan Clark. 

"The conditions made things difficult, Jones said post-match. "It has been apocalyptic up here, with the wind and the rain, so we knew it was going to be a tough game and it is a tough place to come."

Highlights from Bloomfield Road can be found below...
