Luton Town will have a home tie against National League outfit Forest Green Rovers in the First Round of the FA Cup.

The Hatters had been drawn at home to face the winners of last night’s (13/10) First Round tie between Worthing and Forest Green Rovers, with the draw taking place at Worthing’s ground ahead of the tie.

Forest Green Rovers’ consequent 4-1 victory in Sussex to beat the Mackerel Men means that the side from Gloucestershire managed by former Welsh international midfielder Robbie Savage will be making the trip to Kenilworth Road.

The match will take place on the weekend around Saturday November 1st, with the specific kick-off date and time, ticket information and details of any TV coverage to be announced in due course.

The match will be Luton’s first encounter with Forest Green Rovers since 2018, with the Hatters having met Forest Green Rovers in the 2017/18 season, at a time when both were in League Two. Luton won both contests that season, with the match at Kenilworth Road ending in a 3-1 win for the Bedfordshire-based club.

Forest Green Rovers currently sit second in the National League, having picked up 29 points from their opening 14 games.
