Luton face the Gills hoping to build on their opening day home win and try to get back to the heady days when Kenilworth Road was not an easy place to take points.
Luton Town Team News:
Luton will be without Parkin, Langley and Underwood, all long term absentees. Kevin Blackwell is sweating on Paul Peschisolido returning to fitness after a knock at Swindon. Loan keeper David Forde is added to the squad and could well be involved as Dean Brill was struggling in training with a muscle strain from the Swindon match.David Bell returns to the squad after injury
Player to watch: David Bell
Could add a bit of pace to the midfield.
Gillingham Team News:
Gills Manager Ronnie Jepson will be without ex – hatter Efe Sodje who is suspended following a red card.
triker Gary Mulligan is doubtful and another former hatter, defender Duncan Jupp is ruled out with a hamstring injury. Shame!
Player to watch: Delroy Facey
Useful pedigree
