Luton Town's Premier League adventure continues in Friday night action as they head to Chelsea on August 25.
The Hatters kicked off their first-ever top-flight campaign with a 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening weekend of the campaign before their home clash with Burnley was postponed due to delayed redevelopment work at their Kenilworth Road home.
Hosts Chelsea are yet to win a Premier League game under new boss Mauricio Pochettino with the Blues losing 3-1 away at West Ham last time out.
