Chelsea play their final game of 2023 as Mauricio Pochettino’s side face a Premier League trip to Luton Town on December 30.
The Blues suffered a mixed set of results over the festive period with a 2-1 defeat away to Wolves on Christmas Day followed by a home win over struggling Crystal Palace by the same scoreline.
In contrast, Luton’s form was much better, with the Hatters securing their first back-to-back Premier League victories with wins over Newcastle United and Sheffield United.
Should Chelsea succumb to defeat at Kenilworth Road, they could find themselves just eight points above the relegation zone at the start of 2024. Such a result would only increase the pressure on Mauricio Pochettino, who only became Blues manager on July 1 this year. .
team news
Luton head coach Rob Edwards has not confirmed any injury concerns following their late win at Sheffield United and could be left with an unchanged squad.
Chelsea’s long injury list is unlikely to be reduced until around mid-January, with Pochettino still missing seven first-team players for this fixture.
Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling are back in contention following one-match bans and Argentina star Enzo Fernandez is also set to return, but Romeo Lavia picked up a muscle injury on his league debut against Crystal Palace.
Luton Town (3-4-3):
Kaminski (GK) — Mengi, Osho, Bell — Doughty, Lokonga, Barkley, Giles — Townsend, Adebayo, Brown
Chelsea (4-3-3):
Petrovic (GK) — Gusto, Disasi, Thiago Silva, Colwill — Caicedo, Gallagher, Fernandez — Sterling, Jackson, Mudryk.
What time does Luton Town vs Chelsea kick off?
