ROCHDALE entertain a Luton Town outfit desperate for points at Spotland.

The Hatters started the season 30 points adrift of most League Two teams after financial problems led to a heavy deduction.

Their fight for survival was always going to be an uphill struggle, but while there's still hope of pulling off an unlikely escape act, Dale boss Keith Hill insists the Kenilworth Road boys are a dangerous proposition - moulded in the image of their manager Mick Harford.

"Mick is a good manager - he's got his hands full at Luton but they've got very good players," said Hill.

Chris Dagnall and Ciaran Toner missed the midweek FA Cup victory over Barnet and are likely to sit this one out with hat-trick hero Adam le Fondre starting up-front and Clark Keltie keeping his place in midfield.
