We’ve got the feeling that Luton Town and Bristol City should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner. It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We therefore see a close game with a 1-1 score when all is said and done.

An early strike from Andi Weimann set Bristol City on course for their first victory of the season on Saturday before Wigan struck back with less than 25 minutes to play. Nigel Pearson's men are looming down in 23rd after a winless start to the campaign. Luton attempted 18 shots without finding the net against Preston on Saturday afternoon, falling to a 1-0 home defeat following a stunning acrobatic effort from Brad Potts. The Hatters have taken just two points from their opening three league games as they struggle to shake last season's playoff hangover. 2:2
Nigel Pearson could be forced into a change for this midweek encounter with Timm Klose likely to start ahead of Rob Atkinson, who suffered a knock on Saturday afternoon. The Robins remain without four other first-team players, including central midfielder Han-Noah Massengo. Expect a couple of changes from the Luton camp in midweek following a frustrating afternoon against Preston. Striker Cauley Woodrow is one of the options Nathan Jones could call upon, while centre-back Tom Lockyer is also in contention for a recall. Jones confirmed that Harry Cornick and Luke Berry have both suffered injuries and will miss the trip to Bristol in midweek.
