The football season is back at long last and Luton take on Middlesbrough to kick off the new EFL campaign.
talkSPORT has more games than ever before this season and will be starting things off with the Championship clash at Luton.
The Hatters won League One last season to gain promotion, while Boro just missed out on the play-off places.
Now they are set to go head-to-head in the opening fixture of the 2019/20 EFL season.
At Kenilworth Road, the last league meeting between the two sides ended in a 5-1 victory for the Hatters in October 1994 under manager David Pleat, while Luton last started a league season at Kenilworth Road in the 2017/18 season, thrashing Yeovil 8-2.
In doing so, they became the first team to score eight goals in an opening day Football League match since Wolves in August 1962.

Luton vs Middlesbrough: What has been said?
“It’s a fantastic, traditional, club,” manager Graeme Jones, who left the Belgium set up to take over at Luton, said.
“They are realistic but ambitious. There’s the probability of moving into a new stadium. No-one has ever got Luton promoted to the Premier League. That’s the challenge. And it’s one I like.”
Boyhood Boro fan, Jonathan Woodgate, is in his first managerial position, having taken over from Tony Pulis earlier in the summer.
“He gave me this platform to evolve and to make a name for myself and it really helped me along the way,” he said.
“I couldn’t do this job without his help and the grounding of what he gave me,” adding he’d like to make players feel the way Sir Bobby Robson, his manager at Newcastle, did.
“It’s my job to make my players feel like they can go out there and play and run the extra yard for me. Will they do that for me? Will they run through a brick wall for me? I’ll be trying to get them to do that.”
