Mark Lawrenson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Luton Town and Chelsea.
The two sides are set to face each other in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday, while ahead of the clash, the BBC pundit has shared his thoughts.
"Luton have had a brilliant February, winning five out of six games in the Championship, and they are up in the play-off places after beating Derby on Saturday," the pundit said on
BBC Sport.
"When you consider Luton's wage bill and budget compared to some of the other teams in that division, you can see what a brilliant job Nathan Jones is doing there as manager.
"I love it when clubs punch above their weight like that, but it is asking an awful lot for Luton to do it again with an upset here.
"Chelsea could easily have won the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, and I just feel they will be too strong for the Hatters even if Blues boss Thomas Tuchel rotates his squad.
"Chelsea beat Luton at Stamford Bridge in the fourth round last season, on their way to the final. There's a different venue this time, but I'm going for the same outcome."
Lawrenson's prediction: Luton Town 1 - 2 Chelsea
