Rob Edwards’ side notched back-to-back league wins for the first time this season in their last two. A 1-0 home win over Newcastle came before a 3-2 victory at Sheffield United.

Alfie Doughty opened the scoring on 17 minutes at Sheffield United before Luton conceded two second-half goals. The Hatters then sealed the points after United shipped two own goals in the final 13 minutes.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side were in control over Palace with 2.73-0.96 expected goals. Mykhailo Mudryk struck first on 12 minutes and conceded before Noni Madueke’s 88th-minute penalty secured the win.

Luton v Chelsea

Luton and Chelsea don’t struggle for goals. With the Blues still inconsistent, sticking with Premier League goals at both ends is the best bet.
