Luton plan changes for Coventry tie

Luton Town boss Matt Bloomfield plans to give some of the under-used members of his squad a run out when they take on Championship club Coventry City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

The Sky Blues were the team Luton beat at Wembley in 2023 to win promotion to the Premier League, and Bloomfield is now trying to turn their fortunes around again following back-to-back relegations.

Bloomfield told BBC Three Counties Radio: "There will be changes because in pre-season we managed to get the majority of the group up to a good level of match sharpness and there are guys who have been harshly done by to not play more minutes in the first two league games."

Mark McGuinness, Zach Nelson and Lamine Fanne are among those who may start after appearing against AFC Wimbledon and Peterborough United as substitutes.

"They will be given an opportunity to stake their claim for a spot," said Bloomfield.

"We believe that's our best route to try to win the game. We've now got a busy few weeks coming up - if we can win on Tuesday, that gives us four Tuesdays in a row when we're busy playing. If not we've got three out of the next four.

"We need a whole group that's at it and contributing."
