Luton are likely to be without Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu for Wednesday’s clash with Preston after the midfielder was forced off in the early stages of Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship defeat to QPR.
Blues boss Paul Lambert was proud of his team and everybody in the stadium, despite his side having been beaten 1-0 by leaders Coventry City at Portman Road.
Matt Godden’s 16th minute goal saw leaders Coventry City to a 1-0 victory over the Blues at Portman Road. Town were an improvement on Tuesday’s defeat to Fleetwood by the same scoreline but were unable to find an equaliser.
Mustapha Carayol’s full debut goal saw Town to a 1-0 victory over Preston North End at Deepdale, only the home side’s second defeat in 18 league games. The Blues might have led by more after the first half, the January signing netting what proved to be the winner on 21, before comfortably seeing out the second half, their match-winner, who had been ill earlier in the week, having been subbed at the break.
