Preview

Chelsea will be looking to put their EFL Cup heartbreak behind when they take on Luton Town in the FA Cup round 5 on Wednesday. The Blues beat Plymouth Argyle 2-1 in the fourth round to get here but the match went on to the extra time. It was a hard-earned victory for Chelsea. Luton Town, on the other hand, breezed past Cambridge United 3-0 to book their berth in the fifth round of the competition. Being a superior side, Chelsea obviously starts as favourites to win here but Luton Town will be eager to dish out their best in this match as well.
