Town reached this stage of the competition by knocking out League Two Gillingham last week, as after making eight changes, they ran out 3-2 winners thanks to goals from Jacob Brown, Alfie Doughty and Cauley Woodrow.

On the contest itself, asked about taking on a Grecians side who sit top of the third tier, with four wins from their opening six games, Hatters boss Rob Edwards said: “It’s a long journey, I say the same for whoever we play, whether it’s Manchester City away or it’s Exeter away, we’re going to want to try and win.

"We want to try and make the right decisions off the back of it.

"I've heard there might be one or two who were questioning the decisions for the starting line-up (against Gillingham) but maybe they didn’t realise we had a game on Friday night (at home to West Ham) and it’s a pretty big game as well.

"So we trusted the squad, and in the end we made the right decision.

"Make some changes, win the game and have some freshness going into a game that has a shorter turnaround than most Championship games where they’re Saturday, Tuesday.

"You’re going Tuesday night to Friday night, the turnaround is really short, so we had to bear that in mind as well.

"I trust the squad that we’ve got, the team that we put out was very strong, but it will be a good game for us and one we’ll be looking to try and win.”
