The battle for survival looks set to go right down to the wire and the Hatters could strike an important blow when they head to the south coast to face a Bournemouth side struggling for results at home.
Rob Edwards' team know a victory would see them leapfrog Nottingham Forest into 17th position, taking them out of the bottom three and providing a big boost for the remainder of the campaign.
Team news
Bournemouth remain without long-term absentees Ryan Fredericks and Max Aarons, while Marcos Senesi is not expected back until the start of April because of a thigh injury.
Lloyd Kelly and James Hill are making progress from their respective issues, with the duo eyeing a return to action after the upcoming international break.
Luton have a lengthy injury list that includes Amari'i Bell, Mads Andersen, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Marvelous Nakamba, Elijah Adebayo, Dan Potts, Joseph Johnson and Jacob Brown.
Teden Mengi was forced off midway through the second half of the draw at Crystal Palace last time out but should shake off that issue to start.
Predicted XIs for both teams
Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Neto; Smith, Mepham, Zabarnyi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Sinisterra, Unal, Semenyo; Solanke.
Luton (3-4-3): Kaminski; Burke, Mengi, Osho; Kabore, Clark, Barkley, Doughty; Ogbene, Chong, Morris.
Luton vs Bournemouth Tips
A victory for Luton at the Vitality Stadium would take them out of the relegation zone and they will be desperate not to let this opportunity slip out of their grasp, as the battle for Premier League survival intensifies.
The Hatters earned a vital point at Palace at the weekend and Edwards' side have been solid on the road, losing just one of their last seven road assignments in all competitions.
Bournemouth could be the perfect opponents for Luton to face, given the fact the Cherries are 11 points clear of the bottom three and relatively safe, but too far away to challenge for a European finish.
Andoni Iraola's side were almost embarrassed by Sheffield United at the Vitality last time out, coming from 2-0 down to snatch a 2-2 draw, that result extending their winless run at home in the league to four matches.
Luton got the better of Bournemouth in January's reverse fixture, triumphing 3-2 in an entertaining affair at Kenilworth Road, and the Hatters can do the league double.
One of the most dangerous players for Luton this season has been Carlton Morris, who has notched eight times in the league to sit behind only Elijah Adebayo (9) in the club's scoring charts.
The 28-year-old scored in the recent 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, his fourth strike in his last six top-flight appearances, and he is hitting form at the right time of the campaign.
