First-teamers Jonathan Smith, Josh McQuoid and Isaac Vassell are all included too, along with the likes of Zane Banton, Frankie Musonda and Akin Famewo.

Youth Academy and Development manager Andy Awford will take the side for the game at Hitchin Town’s Top Field ground, with kick-off and midday, as boss Nathan Jones knows games like these are vital for his larger than expected squad.

The Luton chief said: “It’s now turned into slightly too big a group because of the younger ones have kicked on.

“We didn’t envisage Akin and Tyreeq (Bakinson) and James (Justin) being quite as good so quickly but they are and they’re now first team players.

“So the group has got big again. The depth and strength is very, very good and the only thing now is we have to keep them happy.”

Admission for adults this afternoon is £3, it’s £1 for season ticket holders and kids are allowed in free.
