Rob Edwards said:

"We want to play in a positive way, we want to play forward, we want to be on the front foot, we want to play forward and run forward.

“There are ways to do it, sometimes you've got to try and draw the opposition out and try and find some spaces, and it was pleasing that the players continue to try and play with real bravery but still with an intensity as well.

"We’ll always try and attack, we want to try and score goals, but it was pleasing that we had a variety in our play. I’m so delighted with how the lads are performing at the moment.”

The opposition:

Swansea City come into this fixture with no wins in their last three games and only one win in their last eight in all competitions.

The Swans sit in 15th place in the Sky Bet Championship as Russell Martin’s side have accumulated 43 points in 34 games, leaving them 11 points behind the top six.

Joel Piroe is the danger man for Swansea, the Dutch centre-forward has netted on 13 occasions in all competitions this term, following on from his impressive debut season in 2021-22.

Irish international Ryan Manning has been an important provider of goals, the full-back has six assists in the Sky Bet Championship this season and has set-up two goals in his last four games.

Last time we met:

The Hatters earned their first three points of the 2022-23 season when we visited the Swansea.com Stadium back in August.

Allan Campbell opened the scoring in South Wales for his first goal of the season, while Carlton Morris scored his first goal in a Luton Town shirt in the second half to solidify the victory.
