League One side Bolton Wanderers managed to keep Premier League strugglers Luton Town to a goal-less draw in their FA Cup third-round tie at Kenilworth Road earlier this month and the two sides will do battle at the Toughsheet Community Stadium in the resultant tonight.
Bolton Wanderers’ weekend League One meeting with Cheltenham Town was abandoned before the half-hour mark due to a supporter suffering a cardiac arrest in the stand, however they turn their attention to the FA Cup tonight where they have another chance to take a Premier League scalp in the form of Luton Town. Ian Evatt’s men brushed aside Solihull Moors (4-0) and Harrogate Town (5-1) in order to advance to this stage of the competition and they are flying high in their League One campaign where they sit fourth in the division.
While the Trotters have won the FA Cup four times in their history, albeit some time ago (1923, 1926, 1929 and 1958), Luton Town have never before got their hands on the trophy. They exited the competition at the hands of Grimsby Town in the fourth round last season and it wouldn’t be wrong to declare that manager Rob Edwards will be giving top-flight survival his main priority this term. He did name a strong starting eleven in the original third round tie with Bolton and his side aren’t in Premier League action again until 30th January, therefore there’s every chance that he will start a strong side again tonight.
Bolton proved themselves capable of matching Luton Town in their last meeting and we envisage another closely-fought affair here, however while Bolton have the quality to claim a Premier League scalp in this one, we envisage the visitors navigating their way into the fourth round with a narrow win in 90 minutes tonight.
