Luton preview: Hatters have sunk to the bottom
Having failed to notch a single win in their last 10 games in the league, eight of which they've lost, Luton have been a team in the worst form in the Championship lately. Due to this, they have dropped down to the last place in the standings, but they are still just three points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone, so Luton have plenty of time to turn things around – but do they have the quality to do it?
When it comes to team news, Reece Burke, Tahith Chong, Tom Lockyear, and Teden Mengi are out with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Kaminski (GK), Bell, McGuinness, Naismith, Doughty, Aasgaard, Nakamba, Walsh, Jones, Morris & Adebayo

Plymouth preview: Pilgrims looking for another win
While Plymouth have lost to Blackburn last weekend, they have won twice in a row before that, albeit both times at home. Still, six points for a team that's been in the relegation zone for a while now can prove to be crucial, but Plymouth will have to do more if they want to avoid relegation since they're still two points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Brendan Galloway and Joe Edwards are on Plymouth's injury list at he moment.
Predicted lineup: Hazard(GK), Talovierov, Katic, Palsson, Sorinola, Randell, Gyabi, Puchacz, Hardie, Wright & Bundu

Player to watch: Carlton Morris
Probably the lone bright spot in Luton's poor season so far has been Morris, who has managed to score seven goals in the Championship so far, which is a huge number when we consider that Luton have only scored 30 goals overall in the league.
