Thomas Tuchel not blaming Kepa Arrizabalaga for Chelsea’s cup final defeat
Luton Town haven’t had it this good in a long, long time.
Saturday saw them move into the Championship play-off spots as they continue their impressive rise through the English football pyramid.
Eight years ago they were in the National League after years of mismanagement and off-field dramas.
Now, their fans are dreaming of a top-flight return next season after a 30-year wait.
Those domestic aspirations are to be parked on Wednesday however when they welcome European champions, Chelsea, to their modest Kenilworth Road home in the FA Cup fifth round.
It offers Town a chance to bloody the nose of one of the game’s big guns – and will provide a more-than-decent barometer of where Nathan Jones’ team is at.
Can Luton pull off an FA Cup shock? Let us know…
