Town head to the City Ground
The Hatters took on the Reds last term in a top flight contest at the City Ground, as despite trailing 2-0 with seven minutes to go, Chiedozie Ogbene and Elijah Adebayo were both on target to earn Town a 2-2 draw. Town have played Forest three times in the FA Cup, none more famous than the actual final back in May 1959, when Luton were beaten 2-1, Dave Pacey scoring.
They also were paired together in the third round of the 1970-71 competition, Malcolm Macdonald netting in a 1-1 draw at the City Ground, as although he then bagged a hat-trick in the replay at Kenilworth Road, the Hatters lost out 4-3. Town’s most recent game against their East Midlands opponents in the FA Cup was a second round contest at home in December 2007, Calvin Andrew with the only goal of the game in a 1-0 triumph.
