Blues have lost their last four away games

Despite the fact that half of the season has passed, Chelsea remain the most unpredictable team in the Premier League. Pochettino has yet to find a playing eleven for his team. In 19 games, they have won seven, drawn four and lost eight. Despite good performances at home, they have lost their last four away games. Without tightening up their screws, Chelsea could again miss out on European competition next season.

As the season progressed, Luton looked in danger of falling early, but they have shown tremendous grit and determination lately. Despite being still stuck in the relegation zone, they have reduced the gap to only one point to save themselves. Luton are coming into this game after winning back to back games against Newcastle United and Sheffield United.

Player to Watch

Mykhaylo Mudryk (Chelsea)

Since last season, Mykhaylo Mudryk has been criticized for his poor performances. Despite being heavily criticized this season, Mudryk is starting to show his talent lately. He has scored twice in the last three games and is beginning to pick up speed. With his form returning, he can be a force to be reckoned with.

Ross Barkley (Luton)

It is no secret that Ross Barkley has a long history with Chelsea, which now provides him with the opportunity to haunt them. Luton have relied on him throughout this season, and he hopes to get them out of the relegation zone by showing his worth. He was a bench warmer at Stamford Bridge for years, but now he has the chance to prove his worth.
