Edwards on Adebayo's fitness, Barkley and a 'special' visit to Anfield

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in the Premier League.

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Edwards confirmed Elijah Adebayo will be unavailable and will see a specialist after sustaining a hamstring injury in the warm-up before Sunday’s loss to Manchester United, while Jacob Brown will be out for the "foreseeable" after having an operation on a knee cartilage issue on Tuesday morning.

• Edwards is ready for Cauley Woodrow to continue to deputise after making his first Premier League start for a decade against United: "Cauley's ready to go again if selected. I was really pleased with his performance the other day. It was a big game, a big moment for him and I thought he dealt with that coming in late really well and played well as well."

• On being back in the relegation zone: "As far as I was concerned we were in the bottom three anyway because I've not taken the points deductions into consideration. That hasn't changed for us at all. Tomorrow is an opportunity to get some points - and the lads believe it as well."

• He expects a "different game" to the 1-1 draw with the Reds at Kenilworth Road: "Liverpool are an amazing team home or away, but Anfield is really special. I think we're going about things in a different way as well since that game. We can definitely take confidence from it but it will be different tomorrow night."

• When asked whether Ross Barkley will be "up for this one" on his return to Merseyside, Edwards said: "I think he will be. He's been very consistent and very good against every opposition that we've played, but there will be that little bit of motivation for him as well because of his past."
