After an exciting summer that saw Chelsea take their spending to more than $1 billion since the arrival of American owner Todd Boehly, it’s not been the ideal start to the season for the west London club. There were encouraging signs in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool as new centre-forward Nicolas Jackson looked sharp, while Raheem Sterling looked back to his very best and last year’s big-money signing Enzo Fernandez impressed in a more attacking role.
However, the 3-1 loss to West Ham at the London Stadium provided a reality check for new manager Mauricio Pochettino, with Fernandez missing a penalty and Moisés Caicedo enduring a nightmare debut that saw the $146 million midfielder give away a penalty in a surprisingly sloppy performance.
After a hugely disappointing campaign in 2022/23, Chelsea will want to respond in a positive manner on Friday night and have the perfect opportunity to get back on track against a Luton side back in the top flight for the first time in more than 30 years. The Hatters were on the wrong end of a 4-1 scoreline against Brighton in their only game so far this season and have an entire squad that costs less than $30 million.
Manager Rob Edwards received high praise as he led his side back to the top flight and will hope his players can step up their performances on the big stage. The Hatters were renowned for being extremely compact last season and are always dangerous from set pieces. There will also be an opportunity for new signing Ross Barkley to impress against his former club after arriving at Luton on a free transfer from French club Nice.
Line-ups
Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Chilwell, Gusto; Enzo, Gallagher, Caicedo; Sterling, Jackson
Luton XI: Kaminski; Burke, Lockyer, Bell, Kabore; Barkley, Nakamba, Chong, Giles; Morris, Adebayo

How to watch the Chelsea vs Luton Town live stream wherever you are
The Chelsea vs Luton Town live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.
Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
