Our prediction: Luton v Chelsea
Having eased past lower league opposition in the previous two rounds of the FA Cup, Luton supporters will have been delighted to be drawn against a big name like Chelsea at home.
Jones' side are not one to shy away from a fight and they're going to have to show exactly that if they're to have any chance of progressing against the Blues.
The Hatters may just surprise Chelsea early on but Tuchel's side should be able to turn things around.
Our prediction: Luton 1-3 Chelsea (11/1 at bet365).
