Match analysis

Chelsea host Luton in the League Cup on 27 August, and Superior's play is a straightforward Chelsea win at 1.27, though the 51 percent confidence is lower than the price alone suggests. Chelsea have lost two of their last five matches, including a defeat to Tottenham, while Luton have scored in four of their last five.

Luton have kept finding the net against tougher form

A 4-3 win over Reading and a 2-0 win over Al Kholood show Luton scoring freely even outside their own level, and their average of 2.2 goals a game is actually higher than Chelsea's own recent output. Chelsea, though, have won three of their last five, beating AC Milan 3-0 and Real Sociedad 3-1, and a home cup tie against Championship opposition is the kind of match their squad depth should settle without much trouble.

Chelsea have lost twice in their last five

The number worth respecting is Chelsea's recent defensive form, beaten 1-2 by Tottenham and 0-1 by Juventus in their last two competitive outings before this. Luton's away form has included a win at Gillingham and a draw at Notts County, proof they do not fold against lesser sides either, and an early Luton goal on the break would turn a routine home win into a genuinely open cup night.
