Carabao Cup runners up Chelsea will look for a return to winning ways as they make the travels to Luton Town for the FA Cup fourth round fixture.
Thomas Tuchel’s men face a high-flying Luton Town outfit which has each of their last three outings in the Championship and could prove to be a stern challenge for the travelling Blues.
A six-game winning run came to a close for Chelsea last time around when they lost to Liverpool after 120 minutes of intense action and the west Londoners would hope for a reversal of fortunes sooner rather than later.

TEAM NEWS
Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta was forced off the game with a knock and is expected to be sidelined for the forthcoming fixture.
Azpilicueta’s absence could open the door for the returning Reece James to be handed a starting role in his right wing-back slot.
The likes of Malang Sarr, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner should be in line to earn recalls to the starting XI.
MATCH PREDICTION
Chelsea are poised for a straightforward victory despite Luton’s impressive run of form of late.
Luton Town 1-3 Chelsea
