“I think we’ll take the lead” – Luton Town fan pundit gives score prediction ahead of Chelsea FA Cup clash

The Championship side host Chelsea this evening in the Fifth Round of the famous cup competition. 

Luton go into the game in good form having won five of their last six league games.

Bhundia also thinks that Chelsea could struggle to get up for the occasion because the home atmosphere will be bouncing due to Luton’s recent run of form. 

“Tough one, but I think we’ll get a draw. I think it’ll be 1-1,” Bhundia told Football League World.

“I think we’ll take the lead and then Chelsea will get one back late.

“With the kind of form we’ve been in recently, we’ve got a lot of momentum.”

Thomas Tuchel has a great cup record with Chelsea having won the Champions League last season, plus this year’s Super Cup and Club World Cup.

Chelsea will certainly be there for the taking in the aftermath of their hard fought defeat on Sunday.

It is likely that Tuchel will have to rotate key players out of the side given the
