Fresh from advancing to the fifth round of the FA Cup, Luton Town and Brighton & Hove Albion will be bouncing into Kenilworth Road for Tuesday's Premier League battle.
The Hatters progressed in the cup thanks to a dramatic 2-1 win over Everton on Saturday, while Roberto De Zerbi's men rediscovered their clinical touch in a 5-2 crushing of Sheffield United.
Almost four months to the day since earning their first-ever Premier League win with a 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, recent history repeated itself for both clubs in Saturday's Merseyside meeting, allowing Rob Edwards's men to dream of a Wembley sojourn for a little while longer.
After the unfortunate Vitaliy Mykolenko turned into his own net to open the scoring, Luton's stand-in goalkeeper Tim Krul allowed Jack Harrison's strike to squirm under his body for the hosts' equaliser, but Cauley Woodrow was the Dutchman's saviour with the pivotal strike six minutes into second-half injury time.
As well as representing a second successive 2-1 win over Everton at their Goodison Park base, Saturday's memorable triumph also saw Luton make it back-to-back away victories by that scoreline in all tournaments, having also seen off Bolton Wanderers in January 16's FA Cup clash after coming away from Burnley's headquarters with a 1-1 draw.
