The Third Round tie - which kicks-off at 5:30pm - has been selected for overseas broadcast which means it's not available in the UK or on iFollow Hatters.
Rob Edwards said: "It’s a fantastic competition and one we want to try and do as well as possible in. We want to keep winning and we look forward to the cup. It’s another really good game for us, it’s another Championship team anyway so it’s a team we know a fair bit about which is good, and we look forward to it."
The opposition:
Wigan come into the game bottom of the Championship having lost their last four matches in succession. The cup may provide a welcome break from their league efforts as they look to beat the Hatters for the second time this season.
New boss Kolo Toure is yet to taste victory since his arrival at the DW Stadium in November. The former Ivory Coast international joined from Leicester City where he was a First Team Coach as part of Brendan Rodgers' staff.
Famously, Wigan won the FA Cup in 2013 - beating Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley Stadium thanks to Ben Watson's 90th minute header. They progressed to the semi-finals the following year and reached the sixth round in 2018, again victorious against Man City.
Last time we met:
Wigan came from behind to snatch a 2-1 victory at Kenilworth Road earlier in the season. Carlton Morris' first half header looked to be the decisive goal but the Latics mounted a late comeback through an own goal and an 88th minute strike from Thelo Aasgaard.
The two teams have faced off in the FA Cup once before in their history and it was an afternoon to forget for Luton, who suffered a 3-0 defeat in 2002.
