Hot Tip – Both Teams to Score
- Both teams have found the back of the net in five of Luton's last six matches.
- Four of Chelsea's last six outings in league and cup have ended with both teams scoring.
Another reason that we have backed BTTS as our main prediction is that four of the last six encounters between these two clubs have produced goals at both ends of the pitch.

Luton vs Chelsea team news
Luton
Luton came out on top of their five-goal thriller at Bramall Lane last time out. Alfie Doughty scored after seventeen minutes to give Luton a 1-0 lead at the interval but Sheff Utd scored twice in the space of eight second-half minutes to go 2-1 in front. Luton showed a lot of character and received plenty of luck as two own goals went in their favour in the seventy-seventh and the eighty-first minute, securing the Hatter a rare away victory.
Issa Kabore, Marvelous Nakamba, Reece Burke, Dan Potts, Jordan Clark and Thomas Lockyer look set to miss out this weekend through injury or illness.
Predicted Lineup: Kaminski (GK), Bell, Osho, Mengi, Townsend, Barkley, Giles, Sambi Lokonga, Doughty, Adebayo & Brown
Chelsea
Chelsea entertained Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. The hosts took the lead through Mykhailo Mudryk in the thirteenth minute but went in at the break level after Palace equalise in first-half stoppage-time. The game looked like it was going to end all square until Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the eighty-ninth minute which Chukwunonso Madueke converted to win the game.
Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, Robert Sanchez, Ben Chilwell, Enzo Fernandez, Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka all have injuries, but Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling are available once again following brief suspensions.
Predicted Lineup: Petrović (GK), Disasi, Badiashile, Maatsen, Gusto, Colwill, Gallagher, Sterling, Caicedo, Palmer & Jackson

Player to Watch: Elijah Adebayo
Luton's top goalscorer, Elijah Adebayo, has been in good form of late and we're expecting another big performance from the former Fulham youngster this weekend.
Adebayo has netted four goals in the Premier League this season, two of which have arrived in his last four appearances. The 25-year-old has never been the most consistent of goalscorers during his career but has hit double figures on two occasions, once with Walsall and once with Luton.
Adebayo causes plenty of problems for defences with his height and strength as well as his ability to run the channels.
