History of the Luton Town v Colchester United fixture

Luton Town prepare to entertain Colchester United at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hatters are clearly on top, having won 5 and lost only 2 of the 9 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Kenilworth Road was less than a year ago, in February 2004, the The Hatters carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Two match.
