Luton are gearing up for their second game of the season on Friday when they visit Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
Rob Edwards’ men weren’t in action last weekend, due to the changes which are being done at Kenilworth to make it Premier League ready.
This saw them miss a winnable game-week two at home to fellow promoted side Burnley.
Instead they will face another quality established Premier League side in their second game in the division.
Losing 4-1 in game one to Brighton won’t have inspired confidence for supporters.
Edwards however has taken plenty of positives from the game and thinks holding onto 2-1 until near the end when they gave away silly goals was impressive from his team.
But how will he line his Luton side up on Friday night?
Luton predicted XI vs Chelsea
Since their last game Luton Tim Krul has arrived in net, however we do feel it would be unfair to drop Thomas Kaminski.
He may have conceded four goals, but it wasn’t through a lack of trying, Kaminski made eight saves in the game, which kept the scoreline semi-respectable.
In defence we expect Mads Andersen, Tom Lockyer and Amari’i Bell to start as a back three.
This is Luton’s strongest defensive solution so best not to deviate from this if Edwards wants a chance at taking points from Chelsea.
Ahead of this, Issa Kabore and Ryan Giles should continue to start in their wing-back positions.
Both put in decent performances against Brighton and would play a huge role in any success on Friday.
In midfield Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu should continue despite a poor showing last time out, with Marvelous Nakamba and Tahith Chong next to him in the middle.
Notable exclusion being Ross Barkley but we don’t think this is the right game for him to start his first game.
Up-front we think Elijah Adebayo will continue next to the standout performer against Brighton in Carlton Morris.
Luton predicted XI: Kaminski; Andersen, Lockyer, Bell; Kabore, Chong, Nakamba, Mpanzu, Giles; Adebayo, Morris.
