Grimsby Town - Luton Town 07.02.2023
Luton Town vs Grimsby Town LIVE23 years have gone by since Grimsby Town last reached this stage of football's oldest cup competition, with Paul Hurst and his plucky Mariners team heading down south to take on Luton Town. The Hatters sit just outside the Championship play-offs and represent the toughest test yet of Grimsby's FA Cup journey. The January transfer window has been a frustrating one for the Mariners, with just one loan signing through the door with just three days to go before the deadline. Recent departures, injuries and ineligibility of some due to loan and cup rules leaves Hurst with little to choose from in some positions for what was already shaping up to be a tough assignment.
