Hide AdUnited will begin life without joint-leading scorer Smith, the nine-goal forward’s season appearing to have been ended following a fractured ankle at Gainsborough Trinity on New Year’s Day.
Joe Burgess, Herve Pepe-Ngoma, Grant Roberts, Jason St Juste and Nat Brown also remain sidelined.
The Hatters - who have ex-Pilgrim Kaine Felix on the bench - arrive outside the play-off spots on goal difference only, and unbeaten in seven matches.
