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 The Hatters are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 4 of the 23 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Kenilworth Road was just last season, in March 2004, as the The Hatters squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a League Division Two match.
