and live on Freeview channel 276
Sluga performed heroics in the Hatters net during Saturday's Championship clash at Swansea City with a clean sheet paving the way for a 1-0 victory after James Collins' second-half header.
Jones then said in his post match press conference that 27-year-old Sluga was subsequently in line for a reward and Jones provided more details and the offering of a further reward at his pre-Leeds press conference.

“His partner is pregnant and he’s getting married, he’s had to change the date because of that and because of COVID-19 so it’s just a reward for his clean sheet.
“If he keeps another one tomorrow, I’ll pay for his wedding!”
Saturday's win at the Liberty Stadium significantly boosted Luton's hopes of avoiding the drop with the second-bottom Hatters now three points off the dropzone.
