Match preview

Luton got back to winning ways on Wednesday as they picked up a crucial 2-0 victory over Stockport County.

Nahki Wells and Callum Marshall were on target for the Hatters, with head coach Jack Wilshere branding it a "really important" result.

Wilshere was delighted with Luton's defensive performance in particular as they bounced back from conceding five goals to Mansfield Town in their previous game.

Wilshere admitted that result came as a "shock", but he will be hopeful it becomes an outlier this season as Luton eye promotion to the Championship.

It is also worth noting that Luton have an excellent home record, going unbeaten in their last seven competitive games at Kenilworth Road and losing just one of their last 15.

Leyton Orient, meanwhile, will be riding high after they thumped Bromley 5-0 in their most recent game on Tuesday.

Jaze Kabia and Yusuf Akhamrich both bagged braces and Armando Dobra was also on target for the O's, with head coach Richie Wellens hailing his side's "unbelievable" display.

It was an impressive show of resilience from Leyton Orient, who had been thumped 3-1 by Barnsley days before the trip to Bromley.

However, they have failed to beat Luton in their last seven meetings across all competitions, with their last victory coming all the way back in 2008.
