TV details for Chelsea's FA Cup Fifth Round trip to Luton revealed as Blues eye quarter-final

Chelsea's trip to Luton Town in the FA Cup Fifth Round is set to take place on March 2, the FA have confirmed.

As confirmed on the FA's official website, the game will be broadcast live on BBC One from 7.15pm, as Thomas Tuchel's side aim to make the quarter-final of the competition for a third year running.

Chelsea have finished runners-up in the competition in the last two seasons, losing to Arsenal and more recently Leicester City in that time.

However, the Blues will be looking to add to their already extensive trophy cabinet, and they have a good chance of reaching the latter stages of the tournament once again this time around.

They will firstly have to beat a confident Luton Town side, however.

The Hatters currently sit eighth in the Championship, just one point behind Nottingham Forest who currently occupy the last of the playoff places.

With a home crowd behind them, Luton will be confident about causing an upset and reaching the final eight of the world's oldest domestic cup competition.

Nevertheless, before that game takes place, Chelsea have a number of games to focus on, starting with this weekend's final of the Club World Cup.

The Blues face Brazilian outfit Palmeiras in Abu Dhabi on Saturday as Tuchel looks to win his third major honour as Chelsea boss after winning the Champions League and European Super Cup.

They will then return to Premier League action against Crystal Palace on February 19, before hosting Ligue 1 side Lille in the first of two Round of 16 legs in the Champions League.
