Chelsea are favoured by the bookmakers to claim a win against Luton, despite their unconvincing form. It will be interesting to see, how far outsiders Luton can push the form at Kenilworth Roadon Saturday.

Luton are 18th in the rankings with 15 points after 18 matches played, whereas Chelsea rank tenth in the Premier League on 25 points.

Going into the match as underdog, Luton will be highly motivated to keep their positive run going against Chelsea. A positive result at on Saturday certainly does not look beyond their powers.

Luton go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of 1.5 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 15 times, while conceding 19. That amounts to an average of 1.9 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring once.

Ahead of their upcoming Premier League match, The Blues have an ample average of 1.8 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a tolerable 18 goals, while also conceding 20 times. That amounts to an average of two per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring once.

The last time these two teams squared up, Chelsea ran out 3-0 winners which they surely won't mind doing again at Kenilworth Road.

Luton vs Chelsea Prediction

Luton Form

Luton took six points from their last three matches, but started off by losing 1-2 against Manchester City. They responded by beating Newcastle 1-0, and followed that up by winning 2-3 against Sheffield United. Luton only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored eight and conceded nine goals.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea collected four points from a possible nine in their last three matches. An encounter with Newcastle brought a 1-1 draw, which was followed by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail as they beat Crystal Palace by a 2-1 scoreline. Chelsea claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches reads 12 goals conceded and 11 scored.

Luton are scoring freely these days, Chelsea are doing just fine in that department as well, and we expect a match with plenty of goalson Saturday.
