Luton Town take on Premier League giants Chelsea this evening, the first time they have hosted the Blues at Kenilworth Road since December 28, 1991.
That day, the Hatters won a Division One clash 2-0, with Richard Harvey hammering home from 25 yards and John Dreyer converting a penalty.
The Luton News takes a look at just who was in the Hatters side below.

5. John Dreyer
Stepped up to the spot once Mark Pembridge had been felled and kept his cool to beat Beasant with a short run-up to make it 2-0 to Luton. One of two players to start every game that term, also on target in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
Had signed from Coventry City for £100,000 in the summer and was named captain, playing 38 times in the top flight as the Hatters couldn’t save their Division One status on this occasion.
Unceremoniously brought down inside the area by Tom Boyd for a second penalty that the Hatters wasted. Didn’t feature too much after the Chelsea game, only playing 20 times in total, with one goal, in the 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.
Experienced forward didn’t have the season in front of goal he would have wanted, scoring just three times from his 39 league appearances, all of his strikes coming from February onwards.
