Luton for me
Another small , unfancied club in the prem to annoy the big boys
And Coventry is a decent trip for them and us
Coventry for me as the gave us Willie Boland
coventry for me
remember those other buggers burning our flag years ago !
Coventry have failed to beat Luton in any of their past nine meetings, since a 3-0 Sky Blues win at Kenilworth Road in October 2017 - in the season that both teams went up from League Two.
This season's two meetings both ended in a draw - and Coventry never led in either game.

The teams
Coventry City: Wilson, Norton-Cuffy, Bidwell, McNally, McFadzean, Doyle, Sheaf, Hamer, Allen, Kelly, Gyökeres.

Orange flags at Wembley is not something I wanted to be reminded of.
Either team on pens I’m thinking or maybe the two star players for Coventry making the difference
(Hamer and Gyokeres)
Few ex Cardiff links
Both Cov keepers, Ben Wilson and Simon Moore. Luton have Cody Drameh and Alfie Doughty in the starting line up.
And Tom Lockyer is Cardiff born and was on our books as a youth player for 5 years
Neither for me. If anything, Luton, based on access from where I live. Nick Owen Midlands Today presenter, ex Luton chairman and fan of 65 years, lives down the road from us. Could be interesting if he has to present on Monday as it was wall to wall Coventry City FC on there last night.
Lockyer off with a serious injury. Not sure what happened
Don’t mind who wins, both of them putting clubs like us to shame.
Terrible forTom Lockyer to be forced off so early in the game -looks like the sort of injury that could see him ruled out for next season as well as the upcoming Wales games.
Luton 1 - 0
Been far more aggressive and deserve the lead
Luton score through Clark, Coventry look a bit overawed at the moment.
If you score first in aChampionship Play Off Final you’ve got a more than eighty per cent chance of winning - the last team to lose after scoring first was, of course, us.

Luton are very physical and direct and Coventry are struggling to cope. Luton should be further ahead.
I just hope Lockyer is ok.
Currently with one brother in law at the dragonfly who is delighted, will be seeing 2nd brother in law a little later who will be delighted if score remains the same
Alfie Doughty, a man of the match candidate?
Coventry looking more like it now, but still not carrying much of a goal threat- think Luton’s keeper isa possible accident waiting to happen mind.
1 - 1
Fantastic move and finish
