Chelsea vs. Luton Town: Premier League Matchday 3 Odds & Picks (Friday)

It has been an eventful start to the 2023 Premier League campaign. However, things have sort of shaken out as we expected with reigning champion Manchester City and runner-up Arsenal each entering the new week at 2-0-0 (6 points). Brighton has put on a pair of masterclass performances, starting 2-0-0 while netting eight goals already.

The new week is on the horizon, so let’s dive into my top bets for Matchday 3 of the English Premier League: Chelsea vs. Luton Town.

Chelsea (-450) vs. Luton Town (+1200), DRAW (+600) | 3.5 (+135/-165)

The Blues return home to Stamford Bridge after a trouncing at the hands of West Ham last weekend. It was a 3-1 defeat for Mauricio Pochettino’s men, pushing them to 0-1-1 out of the gate. Chelsea gears up to host newly-promoted Luton Town, and they’re 0-0-1 after getting dominated 4-1 by Brighton in the opener. Kickoff is set for Friday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. ET from London.

This should be the match that the Blues get their feet underneath themselves. They’ll square off against the relegation favorite (-330) in front of their home crowd. What more could you ask for as a floundering squad with such high expectations? 

I think we see a bit more chemistry amongst the Chelsea roster this weekend. Moises Caicedo had a full week with his new club and he should slot in nicely in the midfield with Enzo Fernandez. Look for the duo to help control the possession against the lowly Hatters of Luton Town. The bottom line here is that Chelsea possesses seven players on their roster making north of £10 million while Luton Town doesn’t have one making over £1 million. Let’s hope the Blues play like they’re paid and secure at least a three-goal victory. 

Bet: Chelsea -2 (+105)
