    Jordan Clark

    Nerves of steel from Luton's Jordan Clark.

    Ben Sheaf

    Still a 100% record in this shootout.

    Marvelous Nakamba

    Marvelous by name, marvellous by nature from Luton's Marvelous Nakamba.

    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...

    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.

    That is it.

    Not 120 minutes plus stoppages could separate Luton or Coventry.

    So penalties will.
