According to Skys it's Live on Sky Sports Football Red Button tonight

Subs: Alnwick, Benjamin, Rinomhota, Colwill, Philogene, Etete, Davies.

Bluebirds

Strong challenge from McGuinness to knock Adebayo off the ball as Luton threatened to break.

Come on Bloooobirds

Doughty found with a great ball over Ng. His cross is deflected out for a corner off the right back.

Succession of shots from the corner, Mpanzu's the final one but it's blocked in the box.

Drameh with a dangerous low cross - but Kipre shepherds it out well.

Good from Harris, who closes down Lockyer and nicks the ball. He lays off Ojo, takes it on to his right and fires a shot, saved by Horvath.

A few seconds later Robinson tries his luck from 25 yards, but it's over the bar.

Excellent work from Robinson, dribbling the ball powerfully into the box, but Lockyer dispossesses him and wins the throw for Luton.

Quick breakaway by Ojo, but great recovery from Doughty to stop him just before he got into the box.

Good again from Ojo. Ralls lays him off and Ojo curls one towards the bottom corner, but again Horvath saves.

Our left-back is struggling big time

Ojo looks a handful though

Great tackle from Clark to stop another dangerous Ojo run. He's looking bright, the City winger.
