Chelsea seek first win as they host newly-promoted Luton Town today

Seeking to claim their first Premier League victory under head coach Mauricio PochettinoChelsea play host to newly-promoted Luton Town at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.

While the Blues have picked up just one point from their opening two top-fight games, the Hatters have lost their one and only league fixture since securing promotion last season.

After Chelsea rescued a respectable 1-1 draw against Liverpool and showed signs of promise in their opening Premier League game of the new season, Mauricio Pochettino was left with plenty to ponder when his side suffered a 3-1 away defeat to London rivals West Ham United last Sunday.

The Argentine boss believes that it is only a matter of time before his young Chelsea side begin to click and put together a run of victories, and positive results will certainly be targeted in the coming weeks with Luton, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth up next for the Blues in the top flight.

Chelsea will be regarded as firm favourites to claim their first win under Pochettino on Friday, but Luton will hope to frustrate the hosts for as long as possible as they attempt to grind out a positive result.
