Chelsea vs LutonPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The first round of the EFL Cup pits Chelsea against Luton, and the head-to-head record speaks for itself: in the four meetings on record, the Blues have always won, twice by 3-2, once by 3-0 and once by 3-1. In their last five matches, Chelsea have won two, 3-1 over Real Sociedad and 3-0 over Milan, drawn 3-3 in Malaysia against Johor Darul Ta'zim, and lost to Juventus (0-1) and Tottenham (1-2). Luton arrive on three wins, 4-3 at Reading, 3-0 at Gillingham and 2-0 over Al Kholood, a 2-2 draw at Barnet and a 0-1 loss to Go Ahead Eagles. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
