HUDDERSFIE­LD V LUTON 7.45PM, SKY SPORTS

- By David Anderson

CARLOS CORBERAN has warned his players they still have plenty to do to seal a place at Wembley and a shot at promotion.

The Terriers held Luton to a 1-1 draw in Friday’s first leg at Kenilworth Road and are unbeaten in their past five matches against the Hatters.

They beat Luton 2-0 at the John Smith’s Stadium last month and will be roared on by their home fans, who are dreaming of returning to the Premier League after three years in the Championsh­ip.

Corberan was quick to shoot down any talk that the Terriers have their noses in front and has told his players they are back where they started on Friday. “We are in the same position where were we when we arrived in Luton,” he said: “I say that because it’s true.We still have much work to do.”

But the Spaniard added: “I think the players have learned a lot on Friday in how to handle the atmosphere of the game and to be focused on the pitch. On Monday, we will need that – we need to focused on what we need to do, how we attack and how we defend.”

Corberan must decide if Sorba Thomas is ready to start and he made a cameo off the bench on Friday on his return after a month out with a knee injury. He is also assessing Ollie Turton after he came off at half-time with an injury.”

Luton captain Sonny Bradley insists his side have no fear. “We’ve proven ourselves in the first half of the first leg by playing on the front foot,” he said. “We could have gone in at half-time 3-1 or 4-1 up. When you see that and look back at the footage, we think there is nothing to fear at all.” HUDDERSFIE­LD (3-4-3) (probable): Nicholls; Sarr, Hogg, Lees; Toffolo, O’Brien, Russell, Pipa; Holmes, Ward, Sinani. LUTON (3-5-2) (probable): Ingram; Burke, Bradley, Naismith; Bree, Lansbury, Campbell, Clark, Bell; Cornick, Adebayo.
