Luton vs Chelsea
Chelsea head into the midweek encounter after losing to Liverpool in the final of the Carabao Cup in a close encounter that was decided on penalties. Having already won two trophies this term, the Blues missed out on a third one narrowly and will want to produce a strong reaction and advance through to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, having beaten Chesterfield and Plymouth Argyle in the last two rounds.
Luton Town, meanwhile, are enjoying a good season in the Championship. They sit sixth in the table and are contenders to earn a spot in the playoffs. The Hatters made light work of Harrogate Town and Cambridge United in their last two FA Cup fixtures and go into the clash against Chelsea on the back of three consecutive victories, beating Derby County 1-0 in their most recent outing.
The last time Chelsea and Luton Town faced each other was in the FA Cup last year, with the Blues emerging 3-1 winners.
