In a little less than an hour, as I type, Luton Town will resume their Championship campaign.
The delights of an epic FA Cup tie, even if we did lose, are now consigned to the memory banks and it is time to concentrate on our bread-and-butter, the Championship.
Against Chelsea, Nathan Jones rotated his squad, a clear indication that out of the two competitions, the gaffer believes clinching a play-off place, and a potential tilt at glory, is for more important.
Middlesbrough have been revived since Chris Wilder took over and the Hatters face a real challenge to take points off a side that are rivals for one of those aforementioned Championship play-off places.
With the kick-off fast approaching, we are now able to reveal the team sheets thereby answering those questions about who starts.
Starting with our hosts, Middlesbrough:

As for the officials, look no further:
Referee – Jeremy Simpson
Assistant Referee – Andrew Fox
Assistant Referee – Matthew McGrath
Fourth Official – Tom Nield
Getting back to winning ways after the disappointment of being knocked out of the FA Cup, against Chelsea, would suit me fine.
