On Friday night, Chelsea will face Luton Town in an attempt to begin the Mauricio Pochettino era at Stamford Bridge.
The Hatters are pointless after wasting their first game, while the Blues have only earned one of a potential six points.
The expectation will be for Chelsea to secure their first victory of the campaign at home, but Luton will be out to ruin the fun.
On the first weekend, Pochettino’s team and Liverpool drew 1-1. Despite having 10 shots and 65% of the possession, they did not take advantage of their advantage.
Carney Chukwuemeka’s goal in the first half could not save Chelsea from losing 3-1 at West Ham United on Sunday.
The Blues controlled play once more, getting 17 shots while controlling 76% of the possession. They were powerless to make it matter, though.
Chelsea has now won only three of its last 21 Premier League games after a disastrous conclusion to the previous season.
For Luton Town, the weekend’s match against Burnley was cancelled owing to repairs being done to their Kenilworth Road stadium.
After winning promotion from the Championship play-offs the previous season, the Hatters suffered their first baptism when they lost to Brighton 4-1 on the opening weekend.
The Seagulls controlled the ball and made 27 efforts, 12 of which were on target, whereas Luton only had 29% ownership and three shots that were on goal.
Rob Edwards’ team has a worse goal differential than just Everton and Wolves, despite having only played one match thus far.
What is on Chelsea vs Luton Head-to-head?
In the FA Cup matches between Chelsea and Luton in 2021 and 2022, the Blues won both times with exactly three goals.
Unbelievably, the previous league match between Chelsea and Luton took place back in 1991. On that particular occasion, the Hatters prevailed, but a lot has evolved since then.
Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, and Christopher Nkunku are among the several players on Chelsea’s injured list.
On the other hand, Luton appears to be playing without the injured foursome of Reece Burke, Gabriel Osho, Dan Potts, and Jordan Clark on Friday.
The hosts are predicted to flex their muscles and win all three points, even though the Hatters will probably give Chelsea a fight for their money.
The two sides are going to win at Stamford Bridge, according to Forebet. But Pochettino’s team ought to triumph in the end.
