Luton Can Inflict A Cup Shock On Sunday

Image for Luton Can Inflict A Cup Shock On Sunday

Last night, I took the opportunity to tune in and watch our opponents, this Sunday in the FA Cup, Chelsea, take on Leicester City in a Premier League fixture.

Although there is the small matter of our fixture against Brentford, this evening, to contemplate first, I can not be the only Hatter with one eye on Sunday and the chance to inflict a giant killing.

And, from what I saw last night, the Hatters could very well make the back pages of the papers come Monday morning.

Although Chelsea have an array of top talent, something is not quite right at the club.

Frank Lampard likes to see his side play possession football.

They keep the ball, move it from side-to-side but are in no rush to move it forwards.

As a result, Leicester City got men behind the ball, closed the gaps and made it difficult for Chelsea to penetrate.

It is something that Nathan Jones must surely have noticed.

If Luton can hold their nerve, keep things tight at the back and defend in numbers that 5th round visit to either Barnsley or Norwich City could become a reality.

But any success depends on one thing, taking any chances that come our way.

Playing such a cagey game, Luton might only get one or two chances, in front of goal we must be clinical, and we must not be too gung-ho when it comes to pushing forward.

On Sunday, patience will be the key but after watching our opponents last night, my money is on Luton dancing a jig of delight on the Stamford Bridge pitch come the final whistle, how about you?
