On the latest episode of BBC Three Counties' Luton in the Prem podcast, Geoff Doyle and Simon Oxley look ahead to Sunday's Premier League match as Luton host Manchester United at Kenilworth Road.

Oxley spoke about Luton's upcoming three fixtures against 'big six' sides, stating: "It's a fantastic 10 days of football for Luton Town supporters. Manchester United at home on Sunday afternoon, TV cameras, live around the world, there will be media there from all across the globe and there will be global interest because it's Manchester United.

"Then Liverpool away, that's slightly more of an issue for Luton fans because it's been fairly short notice and it's not a weekend, it's a mid-week trip up to Anfield but the tickets have all gone.

"Then Man City in the FA Cup on the following Tuesday, so it's a fantastic but daunting set of fixtures and starting with United, whatever state they're in, whatever season it is, they're still one of the big draws. Massive, massive club and organisation being rebuilt.

"Luton have something to prove after the Sheffield United experience. Manchester United will come and play and that will give Luton the opportunity to get on the ball, really get forward and get at them. Against Sheffield United they were always running into yellow shirts everywhere."
