The Black Cats will travel to Kenilworth Road with a narrow advantage from what was a pulsating first leg at the Stadium of Light on Saturday evening. It was the Hatters that struck first with a goal from Elijah Adebayo but Tony Mowbray’s side hit back with a memorable free-kick from the talismanic Amad Diallo and Trai Hume’s second-half header.
Wembley now lies potentially just 90 minutes away for the Black Cats as they look to take a step closer to six-year absence from the Premier League and set up a final clash with either Middlesbrough or Coventry City later this month.
With just hours to go until kick-off at Kenilworth Road, The Echo looks at the latest injury news from both sides as Mowbray and Luton counterpart Rob Edwards both head into battle with some challenging decisions to make before they finalise their starting elevens.
