Grimsby Town vs Luton Town LIVE

7 Feb 2023

Time for the rematch as Grimsby Town welcome Luton Town to Blundell Park as they play for a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup and a game away at Premier League side Southampton in March. The winner must be decided this time around and if the replay is anything like the first game the fans will witness a great battle.

Grimsby cruised to victory away at Crewe Alexandra and Luton have picked up two 1-0 victories since the first game, which has seen them rise to fourth in the Championship table, which signifies the size of the challenge ahead for Paul Hurst's men to continue their FA Cup journey beyond tonight.

The Mariners will be down to bare bones in the forward positions again with none of the January signings available for the game, as well as John McAtee who can not play against his parent club. Town will have to make the most of playing on home turf this time around and make it as uncomfortable as possible for their opponents with the help of the supporters.
