Last Time We Met
The last time the two clubs met was back in December at the Ricoh Arena.
The breakthrough was made on the 38th by Matty Pearson, which gave Luton a 1-0 lead going into the break.
The lead was then doubled on the 57th minute when James Collins slotted past Lee Burge. With the 2-0 lead Luton looked to manage the game, which they showed well despite the Sky Blues having more possession.
The game looked to be done heading into injury time, but a late tackle on Luke Thomas, it gave Coventry a penalty on the 95th minute.
Jonson Clarke-Harris converted from the spot to make it 2-1, unfortunately there was not enough time for Coventry to push on and the Hatters left the Ricoh with the three points.
