The big moment is almost upon us, after a three decade absence, the Hatters are back in the top-flight of English football, taking on Brighton.
It has been a monumental story, sinking down the league ladder and ending up in non-league football before climbing all the way back up into the big time.
Of course, most pundits are tipping Luton Town’s stay in the Premier League to be a short one, just one season being the pundits verdict.
But, we’re a resolute club and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we were to shock quite a few people and retain our top-flight status.
Brighton are our opposition today, a tough fixture against a side that had a great season last time out, despite losing their respected manager, Graham Potter, early on in the season.
This afternoon, the Hatters will be cheered on by a vociferous away support, having had no problem selling out their allocation of 3001 tickets.
With the kick-off looming large, we are now abl to bring you the confirmed team sheets.

Nice to see 6 lads starting and 6 with a chance from bench who were with us last season.
So proud of this club and looking forward to an odds defying season.
