Luton Town v Bristol City live stream, Tuesday 25 January, 7.45pm GMT
Luton Town will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Sheffield United when they host Bristol City in the midweek round of fixtures in the Championship.
Luton had won three of their previous four games going into their clash with Sheffield United. Nathan Jones might have been beginning to look at the play-offs as a possibility - and the Hatters could still break into the top six. Saturday's loss was a setback, though, and Luton cannot afford too many more slip-ups if they are to make up the nine-point gap currently separating them from the final play-off place.
On the plus side, Jones' side have as many as three games in hand on the teams above them. That certainly boosts their chances of climbing up the table, but dealing with two games a week over a sustained period will not be easy. Luton will also need to improve their home record if they are to reach the play-offs, having failed to win seven of their five games at Kenilworth Road this term.
Bristol City are only two points behind their upcoming opponents, but the fact they have played two more matches than Luton suggests they cannot be labelled play-off outsiders. A top-half finish could still be within reach, though, and Nigel Pearson's side have a comfortable 14-point buffer above the bottom three.
Bristol City beat Cardiff 3-2 in a thrilling match at the weekend. That was an excellent response to their prior 6-2 loss to Fulham, but Pearson will be hoping for more defensive solidity from his team on Tuesday. Bristol City have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last six matches, during which time they have shipped 17 goals.
Bristol City will have to make do without Matty James and George Tanner for Tuesday's game, while Luton will be unable to call upon the services of Harry Cornick and the suspended Reece Burke.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm GMT on Tuesday 25 January. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
