We need to fight to win: Pochettino speaks ahead of Chelsea game vs Luton Town

Chelsea will return to action this weekend when they face newly promoted Luton Town in the Premier League.

The Blues head to the game after their 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Ahead of the match, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino revealed he is looking forward to the challenge that awaits his players.

He said: ‘Luton are a team that loves to fight, that works really hard. If you watch the last few games in their stadium, it was tough for all the opponents.

‘If we want to get a good result, we need to be ready to play our football but first we need to match their desire and their capacity to fight for every single ball. It will be a good test for us.’

‘If we want to win, we need to fight, be clever, and be focused. Then we can play our football in the way we know.’
