Noni Madueke is handed a start in the Chelsea XI for Saturday's Premier League fixture at Luton Town.

Noni Madueke has been handed a start in the Chelsea XI for Saturday's Premier League fixture at Luton Town.

On Wednesday evening, Madueke came off the substitutes' bench to help the Blues edge out Crystal Palace, scoring the decisive goal from the penalty spot.

The winger's reward is just a second league start of the season in one of four changes that have been made by Mauricio Pochettino.

Thiago Silva and Armando Broja are promoted from the substitutes' bench, while Cole Palmer is involved after serving a one-match ban versus the Eagles.

Benoit Badiashile, Ian Maatsen, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Christopher Nkunku have all dropped out of the starting lineup, but Pochettino is boosted by the return of Enzo Fernandez and Raheem Sterling to the squad after injury and suspension respectively.

Meanwhile, Rob Edwards makes just the one change to the Luton side that started the 3-2 triumph at Sheffield United on Boxing Day.

Issa Kabore, who was not involved in the squad for that match, returns at right wing-back, with Alfie Doughty moving back over to the left to replace Ryan Giles.

The likes of Chiedozie Ogbene and Carlton Morris remain on the bench despite making an impact during the comeback at Bramall Lane.

Luton Town: Kaminski; Mengi, Osho, Bell; Kabore, Lokonga, Barkley, Doughty; Townsend, Adebayo, Brown

Subs: Krul, Andersen, Ogbene, Morris, Woodrow, Chong, Mpanzu, Clark, Giles

Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Jackson; Broja

Subs: Bettinelli, Bergstrom, Gilchrist, Maatsen, Matos, Fernandez, Sterling, Mudryk, Nkunku
