Crawley Town v Luton

Crawley Town host Luton at the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday needing a win to keep their faint play-off chances afloat.

But they are sure to have their hands full with a Hatters outfit that are currently in fourth spot in the Blue Square Premier standings and who have no intention of slipping out of the top five.

"We don't hide the fact that we now have to beat Luton to have a chance [of making the play-offs].

"We need a good turnout and we need people to come and back us to get a real atmosphere going," Crawley Town manager Steve Evans told BBC Sussex.

"We've got passionate fans who can get behind us and if we do that we've got the players to give Luton a game and beat them on the day.

"It's been a big learning curve for us. Some of these boys are running on empty."

Evans will be minus the services of defenders Glenn Wilson and Karl Broadhurst (both injured) and will be sweating on the fitness of striker Charles Ademeno.

Hatters boss Richard Money will be buoyed by the news that Liam Hatch is fit again after suffering from a calf problem along with Claude Gnakpa, but he will be without the services of Lewis Emanuel, who is sidelined with a toe injury.
