Wrexham face a trip to Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Red Dragons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2003, as the The Hatters edged out their past their rivals by a score of 3 - 2 in a League Division Two match.
