Teamsheet dilemmas and penalty records among talking points for Huddersfield Town vs Luton Town

Both Luton Town and Huddersfield Town made changes to their formation and approach during the first leg, leaving the respective gaffers in a quandary as to how to set up for this second leg.

Carlos Corberan able to get more out of his players in the second half at Kenilworth Road, but Nathan Jones was able to counteract them as the half wore on with changes of his own. The game theory at play in how each side will look to approach this game is mind-boggling: will Corberan stick with what worked after the break after the interval last time even knowing Jones will be expecting that? Is it back to plan A? Or is a third route available?

Either way, there was a real paucity of clear-cut chances for either side in the final 45 minutes last time around, and both bosses will be looking at how they can fashion better opportunities this time around. Expect the chess battle to continue.

It has been wet and miserable overnight in Yorkshire and the weather forecast for the hours before and during the game offers a bit of pathetic fallacy for what already feels like a portentous occasion.

More importantly, the pitch at the John Smith’s Stadium could force the sides to adapt their approach. Luton are perhaps more used to playing it long than their hosts; might the conditions act as a bit of a leveller in what already seems like being a tight game?

The head coach had to keep his powder dry on a few players for the first leg, with Levi Colwill sitting the game out after a bout of illness earlier in the week, Sorba Thomas getting just five minutes and Tino Anjorin left as an unused substitute.

Some caution might still be required over those players who are not able to play 90 minutes, let alone the possibility of another 30 to
