Chelsea will take on Luton Town in their third Premier League match of the season on Friday at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are still searching for their first win of the season, while Luton Town will be hoping to bounce back from a heavy defeat against Brighton in their season opener.
Chelsea held Liverpool in their first game of the season but were then humbled by West Ham away from home. Newly promoted Luton Town should not prove to be much of a challenge for Mauricio Pochettino's men in front of their home crowd. Carlton Morris scored the only goal for the visitors in their 4-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton.
