Having been buoyed by last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool, Rob Edwards’s side will be hoping for another scalp when they take on Manchester United in a league fixture for the first time in over 30 years.
There has not been a United v Luton meeting in the highest division since 1992, when Mick Harford equalised Lee Sharpe's strike to spark a late-season slump that would ultimately cost us the championship in the final First Division season.
When the two teams walk out on Saturday, the Bedfordshire outfit will be the 50th different club we’ve met in a Premier League fixture and, over the years, the first games against new boys in the division have generally gone well for the Reds.
