And so, the day is upon us, the day when the Hatters could slay a Premier League giant in the FA Cup and create history.
While the Championship and consolidating our position in the second tier of English football remains our priority this season, nothing builds confidence like a good cup run.
In the 3rd round, Luton were handed a home tie against Reading, a game they won, to set up a tie for which, surely, tickets would have snapped up in their thousands.
With the fixtures coming thick and fast this season, it will be interesting to see, for this intriguing tie, who the two managers, Frank Lampard and Nathan Jones, decide to select.
Well, all speculation can now cease.
With the high noon kick-off fast approaching, we are now able to bring you the team sheets.
Starting with our West London hosts, Chelsea:

Hi mh, I don’t know about you but a strange side set up. Maybe nj has a plan if so let’s hope it works
fingers crossed it is a plan that works!
Hi all, take some confidence from that experience, gave chelsea a game, take that attitude in to the league now and hit 50 points asap…..but 1st goal was a farce….2 balls on the pitch, if refs aren’t going to bother with that rule, then scrap it…..
damn early goals again cost us dearly, but they did us proud after that.
