History of the Luton Town v Blackpool fixture

Luton Town prepare to entertain Blackpool at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hatters are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 5 of the 23 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Kenilworth Road was just last season, in February 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Division Two match.
