Chelsea vs Luton: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

Luton travel to Chelsea to kickstart this weekend’s Premier League action as Mauricio Pochettino searches for his first win in charge of the Blues.

The new Chelsea boss has not won either of his first two outings despite some promising moments, and a defeat to a newly-promoted Hatters side would pile the pressure on.

Even at this early stage of the season, the Blues simply have to win. The optics of losing to Luton in the eyes of their fans, with all due respect to Rob Edwards and his team, are hardly worth considering.
