'This will be the biggest league crowd to ever watch Luton Town'

In the latest episode of Luton in the Prem, BBC Three Counties commentator Simon Oxley explains how huge it will be for the Hatters to play at Old Trafford on Saturday.
He said: "For many people this may be the day that the penny drops, that Luton are in the Premier League.
"We’ve had the trip to Chelsea and you could arguably say that the penny dropped when that penalty went over the crossbar at Wembley. But we made a trip to Chelsea, played at home to Tottenham, had our first home game against West Ham.
"But for some people this will be huge for the fact that Luton are at Old Trafford, one of the iconic grounds in world football, the Theatre of Dreams.
"Manchester United are not enjoying the best of times at the moment, but when you turn up there and see the trinity statue of Best, Charlton and Law, especially of course just a few weeks after Sir Bobby passed away, it’ll be another poignant occasion at Old Trafford.
"There will be remembrance being marked too. It will be a wonderful occasion and it will be the biggest league crowd to ever watch a Luton Town game because their capacity is over 70,000.
"It’ll be another one of those special occasions, and what a double header to have had – Liverpool and then Manchester United."
