Football prediction Luton Town vs Chelsea

The first match of round 20 of the Premier League is the clash between Luton Town and Chelsea. With only 15 points after the first leg, Luton Town is having to work hard to accumulate points to aim for relegation. However, this is not an easy goal for coach Rob Edwards and his team.

However, there were some bright spots over the Christmas period for Luton Town. They won two consecutive games against Newcastle and their immediate relegation rivals Sheffield. That result gave Townsend and his team a lot of confidence. Ahead of them was a very strong but unstable Chelsea.

After many efforts of coach Mauricio Pochettion, Chelsea somewhat performed beautifully and had a clear style of play. But the London team still often lost matches in scenarios that few people expected. Sometimes the strikers finished very poorly, sometimes the defenders defended carelessly, Chelsea continued to lose points in such a way.

It is the ups and downs of form that have cost the team. Chelsea are now 10th and 12 points behind the European Cup 1 position. That is a gap that will not be easy to fill, although the Premier League still has 19 rounds left to finish.

Fortunately for coach Pochettino, new signing Nkunku has returned after a long injury. The French striker's goal did not help Chelsea gain points against Wolverhampton but partly proved the class of this star.

If Nkunku is fit to start, Jackson will have to give up his position. Chelsea's attack becomes more flexible with players rich in technique and speed. Taking advantage of their opportunities, victory is not out of reach for Chelsea.

Expected lineup:

Luton Town: Kaminski; Osho, Mengi, Bell; Doughty, Barkley, Lokonga, Giles; Townsend, Morris; Adebayo

Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Sterling; Nkunku
