Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Chelsea and Luton Town.
Mauricio Pochettino's side have recorded one draw and one defeat in the previous two games. The rivals, meanwhile, have played one game against Brighton, facing a 4 - 1 loss.
The two sides will be looking to have a successful match when they face each other on Friday, August 25, 2023. Ahead of the game, Merson has shared his thoughts, backing the Blues to be the winning side with a score of 3 - 0.
"Luton Town will be a threat at home, but it will get difficult for them to play against Premier League opponents away from home. They're going to put men behind the ball, get the ball forward, and hope for a goal from a set-piece. I don't think it'll be a particularly enjoyable game to watch, but if Chelsea lost this game, the alarm bells would go odd," the pundit said on Sportskeeda.
"Chelsea had better players and a better team than West Ham, and look what happened at the end. Luton Town can cause problems, but I do expect Chelsea to win this game."
