Luton v Chelsea live stream, Wednesday 2 March, 7.15pm GMT
Chelsea will look to bounce back from losing a domestic cup final by booking a place in the quarter-finals of another when they travel to Luton on Wednesday.
The Blues lost a thrilling League Cup final against Liverpool 11-10 on penalties, after goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was brought on especially for the shoot-out, missed the decisive spot kick.
They have the chance to put that behind them in the FA Cup fifth round, where Thomas Tuchel’s side will be huge favourites against the Championship side.
That said, Luton are in terrific form and come into this home game on the back of seven wins in their last nine games in all competitions.
That run has put the Hatters into promotion contention, as they currently sit in sixth place, the final play-off spot.
Taking down the reigning European champions is another task entirely, though, and Chelsea’s form hasn’t exactly been poor.
The loss to Liverpool was their first since a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on 15 January, with Tuchel’s side winning six and drawing one between those results, a run that included a FIFA Club World Cup victory.
Luton were knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea last season, losing 3-1 at Stamford Bridge to a Tammy Abraham hat-trick, and they might be relieved the England international is now thousands of miles away at Roma.
They knocked out Harrogate Town and Cambridge United to make it this far, the club’s best cup run in nine years, while Chelsea beat Chesterfield before requiring extra-time to squeeze past Plymouth Argyle in the fourth round.
Kick-off is at 7.15pm GMT on Wednesday 2 March, and it is on BBC One. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
