Chelsea will look to put their agonising Carabao Cup final penalty shootout defeat by Liverpool behind them when they face Luton in the FA Cup fifth round later today.
The Hatters are enjoying a fantastic season in the Championship and come into the tie with six wins in their last seven games, rocketing them into the play-off places.
But Thomas Tuchel’s Blues have a fantastic record in the cup competitions, reaching the final of every knockout tournament the German has overseen - a record which began shortly after a 3-1 win over Luton before his appointment last year.
