By Euan Burns
It's fair to say that 2023 has been pretty shocking for Chelsea fans and they head to Luton Town knowing that they could end the calendar year in the bottom half of the Premier League.
A late victory over Crystal Palace - particularly the first-half performance on Wednesday night - will give the fans, players and coach some hope that there are better times to come in the second half of the season, but all that promise could be punctured if they do anything other than win at Kenilworth Road this weekend.
Chelsea are facing an in-form Luton. The Hatters beat Newcastle 1-0 and then won a dramatic match against fellow strugglers Sheffield United 3-2 on Boxing Day. Luton have not won three consecutive top-flight matches since 1991.
Here is all you need to know about the Premier League's last Saturday lunchtime kick-off of 2023.

Luton Town vs Chelsea score prediction
This is quite a tasty early kick-off to get Saturday's Premier League action underway because Kenilworth Road will firmly believe that they can get a home result against one of the major London teams.
Given the sheer levels of inconsistency that this Chelsea side has managed to show this season, there is no real reason to believe that they can build on the late win against Palace. Luton are going to make this really hard for them and the home side could emerge with a point.
Prediction: Luton Town 1-1 Chelsea
