Luton Town will be hosting Chelsea in the early kickoff match of the Premier League this Saturday at Kenilworth Road.
Noni Madueke scored a last minute winner to help Chelsea overcome Crystal Palace 2 – 1 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, in yet another unconvincing display. This was the Blue’s third successive home Premier League win, but only their sixth in 2023. They now sit in 10th on the table but it’s worth noting that they are only above Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth on goal difference.
Luton Town marched to an engrossing 3-2 win over Sheffield United on Boxing Day. The players made history at Bramall Lane, as they made it back-to-back wins in the competition for the first time ever.
The Hatters are within touching distance of Everton, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest with a game in hand. Victory on Saturday would see the hosts make it three top-flight successes on the bounce for the first time since December 1991. The last time these two sides met was in August and Chelsea won that game 3 nil at Stamford Bridge.
