  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rob Edwards might look to freshen things up shortly.

  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' Thomas Kaminski has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

  • 55' Fresh legs for Luton Town FC! Issa Kabore comes on to replace Reece Burke.
  • 60' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ibrahim Sangare.
  • 65' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Issa Kabore suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' It is a cagey affair so far. Nottingham Forest FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Luton Town FC's compact 4-4-2.
