Fankaty Dabo
IT'S CRUEL ON COVENTRY.
BUT LUTON ARE PROMOTED TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE.
Fankaty Dabo puts his penalty over and that's it for the Sky Blues.
Dan Potts
Another penalty scored!
Dan Potts - on as a late sub for Luton and wearing the armband - slots it left-footed.
Coventry must score.
Liam Kelly
Coventry stalwart Liam Kelly officially takes this to sudden death. Low and sends Ethan Horvath the wrong way again.
Now come the players who weren't keen to take one...
Luke Berry
Luke Berry makes it five out of five for Luton. Another confident spot-kick.
Coventry MUST score to keep their Premier League dream alive.
Josh Eccles
Coventry academy graduate Josh Eccles does the business - another calm penalty, sending the keeper the wrong way.
We're essentially into sudden death territory.
Jordan Clark
Nerves of steel from Luton's Jordan Clark.
He takes a breath and powers one into the corner - Ben Wilson can't really get close.
Ben Sheaf
Still a 100% record in this shootout.
Ben Sheaf goes high for Coventry and though Ethan Horvath dives the right way, there's no saving that.
Marvelous Nakamba
Marvelous by name, marvellous by nature from Luton's Marvelous Nakamba.
He looked so calm stroking that into the corner.
Viktor Gyokeres
Coventry talisman Viktor Gyokeres - top bins.
What a penalty under this pressure.
Joe Taylor
Late Luton sub Joe Taylor was denied an extra-time winner by VAR but his penalty goes in.
Ben Wilson dives the right way but it's low and right in the corner.
Matty Godden
Up steps Matty Godden for Coventry's first penalty - struck confidently to the keeper's left.
Ethan Horvath no chance. All-square.
Carlton Morris
Ben Wilson tries delaying Luton's Carlton Morris but he sends the Coventry keeper the wrong way with a low penalty.
ETFT: Luton 1-1 Coventry
Michael Oliver just running through the protocols for the two goalkeepers. Try taking that in. They've shared a little moment, goalkeeper's union.
They're in the spotlight now.
Luton to go first it would seem...
ETFT: Luton 1-1 Coventry
Michael Oliver brings Luton skipper Dan Potts and Coventry's Liam Kelly together for the coin toss.
The pens will be taken at the Luton end. Advantage or not, we'll see.
Luton 1-1 Coventry
Gary McSheffrey
Former Coventry winger on BBC CWR
It's all about who can keep their nerve and cope with this pressure.
FT in ET: Luton 1-1 Coventry
Steve Ogrizovic
Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR
VAR was the saviour but Coventry deserve that.
They were the better team in the second half
FT in ET: Luton 1-1 Coventry
Last few chances for the two bosses to give their sides a penalties pep-talk.
It's down to Ethan Horvath and Ben Wilson now to be their teams' saviours.

Leon Barnett
Former Luton defender on BBC Three Counties Radio
It's tough to decide this on penalties after both teams have put so much into it. I do think it's an unfair ending but it's the only way to separate these two teams.
Luton 1-1 Coventry
That is it.
Not 120 minutes plus stoppages could separate Luton or Coventry.
So penalties will.
Luton 1-1 Coventry
Luke Berry heads over Carlton Morris' cross. That was Luton's chance.
