    GOAL - Luton 0-2 Chelseapublished at 37 mins

    Noni Madueke

    And it is another fine finish!

    It is good football from Chelsea as the ball is worked from left to right through Cole Palmer, who feeds Noni Madueke inside the box and the winger somehow manages to squeeze a shot from a tight angle into the top corner.

    Chelsea deservedly and comfortably ahead.

    No.

    It is a move off the training ground as the ball is rolled into Ross Barkley's path. He tries to pick his way through the Chelsea defence but has no joy.

    Moisés Caicedo clips Amari'i Bell and Luton have another free-kick just outside the Chelsea box.

    Can they make this one count?

    Chelsea initially clear the corner but Luton pick up the ball and attack again before Djordje Petrovic has a moment as he drops a fairly routine cross from the left. He's able to recover before anyone can pounce, however.

    Conor Gallagher, who has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in January, was hurt as he made that block and needs treatment. Luton fans think it is more timewasting, however.

    Luton skipper Amari'i Bell goes on a good run through the middle for the hosts but Thiago Silva is well placed to stop him in his tracks. Solid defending from the veteran.

    You could hear Gallagher's shout of pain from the press area after that tackle from Jacob Brown.

    Martin @ 12:51 - Barkley was given heaps of time by Sarri. He is the same classification of an average player.

    Chelsea have had five shots on target already in this game, more than they've averaged per game so far in the Premier League. They've certainly made a bright start and are good value for their lead.

    Samuel: I understand the criticism of Poch but as a Chelsea fan I think he's doing well. He's given the team more of an identity, and we're creating chances which we weren't really the last few seasons. So the main problem is inconsistency, which can be fixed over time.

    Usman: If somehow we qualify for Europe for next season and manage to buy a striker and a goalkeeper, I would say Poch has done an ok job.

    Armando Broja, making just his fifth league start of the season, is down on the ground and needing treatment.

    He's eventually able to get up and limps a bit as he makes his way to the edge of the pitch, but he's going to be OK to continue.

    Elijah Adebayo, under pressure inside the Chelsea box, leaps to meet a cross but can't make the connection he wants and his header is comfortably gathered by Djordje Petrovic.

    Cole Palmer's goal was his seventh in the Premier League this season, putting him level as the Blues' top Premier League goal scorer this term alongside Nicolas Jackson.

    The pair of them have already matched Chelsea's top scorer from last season, Kai Havertz.

    Ross Barkley in the form he is in would walk into this Chelsea side. Imagine him playing with Palmer. Shame Chelsea didn't give him a chance. They could have saved themselves a fortune on overpriced average ability midfielders.

    Elijah Adebayo is dispossessed inside the Luton half and Armando Broja has space down the left. He fizzes a low ball across the face of goal, but there's no Chelsea player there to turn in.

    ... decent hit by Ross Barkley as it clears the wall and is dipping but not enough as it goes just over the crossbar.
