Luton Town, Recent FormLuton Town will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their away outing against Sheffield United. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 21 shots on goal.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Rob Edwards will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 11 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 17 of their 18 games overall.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Luton recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 5 of the first 9 league games at Kenilworth Road Stadium.
Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Crystal Palace. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Crystal Palace who had 13 attempts and 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Nicolas Jackson is the man of the moment at Chelsea right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Luton Town will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Chelsea, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
Luton have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Blues in each of their previous 2 meetings at Kenilworth Road Stadium.
In the league, Luton has a good track record when they host Chelsea, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
