Can Chelsea find some PL consistency against in-form Luton Town?
6160

Chelsea will visit Kenilworth Road on Saturday looking for a second straight Premier League win. The Blues are struggling for consistency under manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The Blues took just nine points from the last six matches in the league. Chelsea are coming off a Premier League win over Crystal Palace 2-1 last time out.

Pochettino will hope the side can continue picking up maximum points in matches.

Luton Town have suddenly sprung to life. The Hatters won their last two Premier League matches.

A 1-0 win over Newcastle United was followed by a 3-2 away win versus Sheffield United.

Rob Edwards’ team is now just one point off Premier League safety. Luton are benefiting from being in form and Everton’s recent two-game losing streak.

Chelsea are on a three-match winning streak in head-to-head games versus Luton Town.

The Blues claimed a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge earlier this season. Raheem Sterling scored either side of halftime and Nicolas Jackson added a third just before time.

Eight of Luton Town’s 15 points came from matches played at Kenilworth Road. The team suffered five defeats in their opening nine games at the venue.

Luton conceded 14 goals and scored 11 times playing at Kenilworth Road.

Chelsea are on a four-match losing streak in matches played away from Stamford Bridge.

The Blues lost five of their opening nine road games of the campaign. They were outscored by their nine road opponents 15-14.

Pochettino has 10 players on the injured and suspended list for Saturday’s game. Defenders Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, and Ben Chilwell are all ruled out of action.

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is out of action with a knee injury. Midfielder Enzo Fernandez is out with a groin injury.

Tevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka are both out with injuries as well.

Meanwhile, Pochettino will be without two of his best attacking players. Sterling, who scored twice in August against Luton, and Cole Palmer are both suspended for the game.

Edwards won’t have Issa Kabore available due to an injury. Reece Burke and Dan Potts are also out of action.

Tom Lockyer continues to recover from his cardiac arrest. Midfielders Marvelous Nakamba and Jordan Clark are both major doubts to play.

Chelsea are on a three-game winning streak against Luton Town and should make it four wins in a row against the newly-promoted team.

The Blues should find a way to win 3-1 at Luton and end a four-game away losing streak.
