History of the Luton Town v York City fixture

Luton Town play host to York City at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the The Hatters.

The last time the two teams met at Luton Town was back in February 2002, over five years ago, the The Hatters carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Three match.
