Match Overview
Chelsea take on Luton Town in the third round of the English Premier League at Stamford Bridge on 25 August, Friday. While Luton Town will be hoping to put their best foot forward in order to disturb a well-established Chelsea side, it will not be easy for them at all. Mauricio Pochettino's side have not been in the best of forms but will expect to do well here.
Key Highlights
Chelsea, who were beaten by ten-man West Ham United in the last game that they played last weekend, will want to get over their disappointment soon. Newly promoted Luton Town allow Chelsea the opportunity to get a win over them and gain some confidence. Thomas Kaminski is ranked 1 in saves per match in the competition (8) for Luton Town this season.
Injury Report
Chelsea have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Chris Nkunku and Armando Broja among others. Luton Town, on the other hand, will have to make do without the likes of Jordan Clark, Daniel Potts and Gabriel Osho among others.
Prediction
Chelsea, who have won the last two matches that they have played against Luton Town, will feel confident of doing so this time around as well. Chelsea have not had a very good start to the season, having been beaten by West Ham United in their previous game and drawing to Liverpool in the game before that. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this match.
