Oxford Utd. play host to Luton Town at The Kassam Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 17 previous games, with the U's winning just 5.
The last time the two teams met at Oxford Utd. was back in December 2001, over five years ago, with Luton Town inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the U's in a League Division Three match.
