Luton Town v Histon

Luton Town will be looking to bring some festive cheer to Kenilworth Road when they play host to Histon on Boxing Day.

The Hatters are still very much in the hunt for a play-off place and will view this clash as a must-win if they are to realise their ambitions of returning to the Football League at the first attempt.

However, the Stutes will be no pushovers as they too are looking to finish as high up the table as possible, with a play-off place not out of the question.

Hatters manager Richard Money has a number of concerns on the injury front ahead of the clash.

Defensive pair Fred Murray and Ed Asafu-Adjaye are both rated as doubtful and will require fitness tests.

Liam Hatch and Mark Tyler will not feature as injury keeps them sidelined.

Histon will be without Gareth Gwillim for the clash as it is suspected that he has contracted swine flu.

The defender had just recovered from a knee problem when he was struck down by the illness recently.

Stutes temporary manager Alan Lewer told Cambridge News: "Gareth has not felt very well for a while and we think it may be swine flu.

"Physio Roy Johnson is very experienced and he's dealing with the situation. Gareth is a good professional and will not join up with the squad until he has recovered and feels absolutely right."

Forward Danny Wright will require a late fitness test on his knee, but Bradley Hudson-Odoi is available for selection following a loan spell at league rivals Grays Athletic.

Erkan Okay and Matt Langston are both not fit enough to feature due to respective injuries.
