This Thursday, we’ll see the last two Round of 32 matches in the English Carabao Cup. And the penultimate match features Chelsea, who host Luton Town at Stamford Bridge!
The Blues are embarking on a new era. They’re looking to put last season’s disastrous campaign behind them, a season that ended with a 10th-place finish, which means they won’t be competing in any European competitions this season. To kick off this new chapter, Chelsea’s management has placed their trust in Xabi Alonso, who is taking the reins of the club just a few months after being fired by Real Madrid. And the Spanish coach’s first match ended in a victory on Monday night, in a short trip to Fulham. In this London derby, the Blues’ defense, and especially Robert Sanchez, didn’t inspire confidence, but their offensive firepower is very real, particularly with a resurgent Cole Palmer, a Joao Pedro who remains as clinical as ever in front of goal, and a Morgan Rogers who scored his second goal in two appearances for the Blues. Alonso has his work cut out for him, but he also has a lot of talent in his squad.
Luton Town, for its part, continues to slide. After competing in the Premier League in 2023–2024 but being immediately relegated, the club was also relegated from the Championship the very next season. Last year, a 7th-place finish in League One wasn’t enough to return to England’s second division. That will, of course, be the goal this year. And it’s fair to say the season is off to a good start with a 3-0 win over Gillingham FC in the previous round of the Carabao Cup, another victory in league play (this time at Reading (4-3)), and then a draw against Notts County, also in League One. However, it would take a minor upset to hope for a positive result at Stamford Bridge this Thursday...

Our Chelsea vs Luton Town Prediction
Chelsea is the overwhelming favorite for this match and should build on their success from Monday night’s away game at Fulham. Xabi Alonso still has a lot to prove with his new club and will likely focus on stringing together strong results early in the season. While it’s hard to imagine Luton Town holding their own against the Blues, we do see this match turning into a goal-scoring fest.
Our prediction for Chelsea vs. Luton Town: Chelsea win and over 2.5 goals!
