Chelsea, Recent FormThe 3-1 away defeat to West Ham United will not have sat easily with the Chelsea squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 76%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to West Ham United, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
With 6 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 12 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Blues, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Romelu Lukaku will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Chelsea's last 6 league games.
Luton Town, Recent FormThe Luton Town squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 4-1 away defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion. In that game they recorded 29 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 12 of their 27 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Carlton Morris will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Luton Town.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-0 win for Luton Town.
In each of the previous 4 matches against The Hatters, Chelsea have let in at least one goal.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Benoît Badiashile (Groin), Marcus Bettinelli (Unknown), Armando Broja (Knee), Trevoh Chalobah (Hamstring), Wesley Fofana (Cruciate ligament), Reece James (Hamstring), Noni Madueke (Ankle) and Christopher Nkunku (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Rob Edwards has a number of injury concerns in his Luton squad to contend with: Reece Burke (Knock), Jordan Clark (Ankle), Gabe Osho (Knee surgery) and Dan Potts (Knock)
