Luton manager Kevin Blackwell welcomes back captain Chris Coyne for the FA Cup third-round visit of Premier League giants Liverpool.Coyne has missed the last two games through suspension after his sending off at Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day but will come straight back into the side after rejecting a move to Championship side Colchester earlier this week.

Coyne will replace Bolton defender Jaroslaw Fojut who has returned to the Reebok after his successful loan spell. Blackwell was unable to extend the defender's stay as Football League rules restrict clubs in administration from signing players.

Coyne and midfielder Steve Robinson are the only two survivors from the Luton side which was beaten 5-3 by Liverpool at the same stage of the cup two years ago.

Veteran Paul Furlong could be handed a recall as a lone striker after recovering from his latest hamstring strain but Richard Langley (broken leg) and Paul Underwood remain long-term absentees.

Sam Parkin (also ankle) has returned to light training but Paul Peschisolido has been ruled out for the season with his ankle injury.
