GRIMSBY head to Luton this Saturday hoping to put behind them a miserable week where they crashed out of the Carling Cup, and then went on to lose at home to Port Vale in the opening game at Blundell Park.

After a week that centred around referees and red cards, Town will be looking to get back to playing matters and get some league points on the board against a Luton Town outfit who have won both of their opening league games and knocked Yeovil Town out of the Carling Cup.

Unlike Grimsby, Luton have got off two a 100% start in the 2003-2004 campaign with an opening day win over Rushden and Diamonds followed by an impressive 4-1 cup victory against Third Division Yeovil. Last weekend saw the Hatters secure their first league points on the road after a 2-1 win at Stockport's Edgeley Park.

The Mariners last entertained Luton in the Second Division, back in Town's famous 1997/1998 promotion season at Blundell Park, where Grimsby lost 1-0. The game was shortly after Grimsby's AWS triumph against Burnley, and came during a particularly sticky spell before the Mariners finished the season on a high in the Play-Off final at Wembley.
