There's the peedie matter of Celtic v Rangers in Scotland, a game that suddenly feels very relevant to the title race. Issa Kabore replaces Ryan Giles at wing-back for Luton, the only change from their madcap win at Bramall Lane. Mauricio Pochettino has changed four of the XI that started Chelsea's victory over Crystal Palace.
These teams will remember 2023 very differently. It's been Luton's greatest year since 1988 and Chelsea's worst since, well, probably 1988. Their young side, on a run of four straight away defeats, are about to experience something completely different: the wintry chill of Kenilworth Road. Luton were supposed to be relegation certainties, but the shrewd management of Rob Edwards has made them the most competitive of the promoted clubs so far.
