David faces Goliath at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea welcome Luton Town in the EFL Cup second round. Given the huge gap in quality between the two sides, we predict a 3-0 home win. The Blues head into this clash on the back of a 3-2 Premier League victory over Fulham, making a positive start to their league campaign. Rotation is expected, with Pedro Neto, Estevao, and Quenda all pushing for starts. Chelsea have also won all four previous H2H meetings with Luton, with every encounter producing at least three goals.
Luton, meanwhile, will be dreaming of a major scalp after an excellent start to life in League One. The Hatters have won eight of their last 10 matches, scoring an impressive 2.6 goals per game, while they have failed to score in none of those fixtures. Their away record is particularly encouraging, with four wins from their last five road games. Baptiste and Luker are both sidelined through injury, but Luton should still provide Chelsea with an entertaining test.
Chelsea have won all four H2H meetings, all of which produced at least three goals. Therefore, Chelsea to Win, Chelsea -1.5 and Over 2.5 goals markets are worth considering.
This EFL Cup match will be played on Thursday 27 August 2026 at 19:30.
