It's nice to see us get an "easy" opponent for a change at this stage in a Cup

The last few League Cups and FA Cups, it seems as though we've faced teams like Arsenal and Chelsea in the 4th Round.

Hopefully our FA Cup draws will end up being this friendly.

Luton gave Liverpool a good game a few years back in the FA Cup at Kenilworth Road. I remember Xabi Alonso killing the game with that goal from well inside his own half.

Match is tomorrow ... obviously, we're coming in on the backing of two solid wins.

The Hatters meanwhile won their last game over Forrest at home. They won their third round Carling Cup match 3-1 (aet) over Charlton. They are currently midtable in the League One with a 5-6-2 record (17 points). They have played well at home though, with a 5-1-1 record.

oh dear... another game to be worried about! ;)

so what do we think the lineup will look like? is Baines out for a while? when is AJ due back? how hot will arteta and cahill look on the field together... urm... well maybe not the last one for most of you guys, but look, I watch the game cos i enjoy the game, but it sure don't hurt looking at boys like them as a bonus versus say jeff agoos marco etcheverry or vinnie jones looking guys ;)

I am a bit confused with all the different things going on... wikipedia helped me out a bit here... so this is a knockout tourney, but with home/away games similar to mls playoffs right now? If so, did we play this club yet and if not, when do we play 2nd leg?. how do you think we'll do? Is this an important game or do we want to rest up a few players maybe and focus on UEFA and League games?

so how much do we care about this cup than league or uefa games?

and some maybe bad news from toffeeweb.com (http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/baines-out-for-luton.html) Baines out a few weeks, and Mikel maybe out as well :(

I'd put Gravesen in for this. Help him get his fitness back up to scratch.
