MATCH PREVIEW: TRANMERE ROVERS
Team News
Luton: Luton look set to welcome back Jaroslaw Fojut and David Bell after both recovered from respective ankle and hamstring injuries. But the club's injury list looks grim with Paul Peschisolido (ankle), Richard Langley (broken leg) and Paul Underwood all long-term absentees.
Tranmere Rovers: Ben Chorley is a major doubt for Tranmere after he spent Wednesday night in hospital with an infected bruise. Midfielder Steven Jennings should feature after serving a suspension.

Chris Greenacre has scored eight goals for Tranmere so far this season |
One to watch
Chris Greenacre: Chris is now in his third season at Tranmere Rovers having signed in July 2005 on a two year contract from Stoke City. Over 30 goals in his first two seasons earned the striker a new two-year deal in April 2007 and shortly after he was named Players' Player of the Season. He has been a regular starter under both Brian Little and Ronnie Moore and with eight goals so far is likely to be among the division's top scorers in 2007-08.
From the boss
Kevin Blackwell:"Tranmere made a good start to the season and although they have faltered over recent weeks we know from when we played them at Prenton Park how much of a good side they really are."
Ronnie Moore: "We're playing a side with one of the best home records in League One but they're bottom of the league. They've had ten points deducted and are in administration, and it's a tough old game. But we have to go there and do what we're good at. We need to get the work rate up and do what we didn't do last week."
