In The Dressing Room
Preston North End will once again be without striker Ched Evans, as he serves the second of his four-match suspension.
Ben Whiteman and Troy Parrott both made a return from injury in Saturday's Lancashire derby against Burnley, and they'll be pushing to start come Wednesday evening.
If Whiteman is to play any part, it will be his 100th appearance for PNE.
A Look At Our Visitors
Luton Town arrive at Deepdale in fantastic form, having lost just once in their previous eight Championship outings, accumulating 19 points in that run of fixtures.
The Hatters lost manager Nathan Jones to Southampton in November and, within a week, Rob Edwards came in to take over, and he has maintained Luton’s push for a Play-Off place.
Having lost out in the semi-finals last year to Huddersfield Town, the team from Bedfordshire will be hoping to go a step further this year for a shot at reaching the Premier League.
Going Head To Head
Games played: 51
PNE wins: 27
Draws: 10
Luton Town wins: 14
Last meeting: Luton Town 0-1 PNE, 13th August 2022
One To Watch
Leading the way for goals so far this season for Luton Town is striker Carlton Morris, who joined the club in the summer from Barnsley, who were relegated into League One.
He scored seven for the Tykes last term and that’s a total he’s already bettered during the current campaign, having netted 11 in his 29 appearances so far.
Morris – who is mostly used as a central striker – doesn’t have a great record of playing against North End so far in his career, however, having lost on each of his last four outings against the Lilywhites.
Match Officials
Josh Smith will referee his third Preston North End game of the season on Wednesday night.
North End have come out on top in both fixtures officiated by Smith so far this campaign, with wins coming at home to West Brom and down the road at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers.
Smith has refereed 23 games in total this season, showing 103 yellow cards and three reds.
MACS VIEW
The joy of a home game, this could be a record breaker for all the wrong reason, a sixth home defeat on the bounce has never happened, if it does Mr Fantastoc will be under serious pressure, my cup is over flowing with happiness remember at night game against the sameopposition last season three down at half time, hopfully no repeat of that but don't bank against it

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
