Luton Town’s fall from the Championship wasn’t a complete collapse in terms of form and there are signs of life coming into this one.
The Hatters were particularly strong at home at Kenilworth Road last season, however away form was a deciding factor in their relegation.
This summer, the club has been more proactive in the market to boost their squad quality.
Bloomfield has already welcomed six new faces by mid-July, with Kal Naismith, George Saville and Nahki Wells adding proven quality across the pitch.
The retention of Elijah Adebayo, Jordan Clark and Reuell Walters ensures Luton still possess a core of players with Championship level experience.
AFC Wimbledon return to League One following play off success in League Two and are aiming to re establish themselves at this level under Johnnie Jackson.
Their promotion was no fluke and built on solid foundations, the Dons had the best defensive record in League Two last term, conceding just 35 goals.
Attacking depth remains a concern for Dons fans.
Matty Stevens finished as top scorer, but his form tailed off badly towards the final third of the season with just one goal in his final 19 appearances.
Wimbledon’s defensive back four will be tested against a Luton side still brimming with top level talent.
For Bloomfield’s men, anything less than a promotion push will feel like a missed opportunity and a strong start at home is probably expected at Kenilworth Road tonight.
