Luton Town will host play-off rivals Middlesbrough at Kenilworth Road on Monday night, live on Sky Sports.
The Hatters are 11 games without defeat and secured their play-off place after the draw at Reading last Wednesday, while Boro have also secured a top six finish.
The opposition:
Middlesbrough have been neck-and-neck with the Hatters since the arrival of manager Michael Carrick earlier in the season and currently sit one-point behind Town in fourth.
Only table-topping Burnley have a better record in the Championship then Middlesbrough since Carrick’s appointment in October.
Boro striker Chuba Akpom has been one of the standout players in the division this season, the former Arsenal forward is the Championship’s leading scorer with 28 goals.
Aston Villa loanee Cameron Archer has also made an impact since arriving at the Riverside in January, the 21-year-old forward has nine goals in 17 Championship games.
Last time we met:
Rob Edwards’ first game in charge of Luton Town resulted in a late defeat at the Riverside back in December.
Jordan Clark scored an exquisite solo goal give the Hatters a first half lead, before Akpom equalised before the break and Matt Crooks found the winner in stoppage time after Amari’i Bell’s red card.
