Premier League: Arsenal vs Luton Live
Preview: Arsenal vs Luton
Arsenal vs Luton on Wednesday at 6:30pm at the Emirates stadium will give the gunners the opportunity to go top of the Premier League table for a day if the defeat the away side. Mikel Arteta’s determined team earned a commendable draw against Manchester City, while Luton Town lost to Tottenham Hotspur after initially leading 1-0.
Arsenal showcased their strong defensive skills once again by holding Manchester City to a goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium. Despite having only 27% possession, Mikel Arteta’s team extended their unbeaten streak to nine league matches and are now just two points behind league leaders Liverpool. Arsenal’s impressive record of being unbeaten in their last 38 home Premier League games against newly-promoted teams suggests that their upcoming match at the Emirates Stadium should be a straightforward task.
Luton Town suffered a demoralizing defeat to Tottenham’s rivals Arsenal in their previous match, conceding a late goal and missing out on a crucial point in their fight against relegation. Despite this setback, the team can draw positives from their performance, especially their early lead against a top-five opponent. However, the hatters must improve their away form as they have struggled to secure points on the road, with only Sheffield United having fewer points this season. Additionally, the away side has the worst record for conceding away goals this season and has not won any of their last 11 away league matches, conceding two or more goals in each game.
Head-to-head
Arsenal narrowly defeated Luton in an exciting seven-goal match at Kenilworth Road in December last year. The Gunners have won 13 times, drawn once, and lost twice in their last 16 home games against the hatters.
Prediction
Despite leaving Tottenham empty-handed, Luton’s resilience and perseverance were commendable given their extensive list of injuries, which continues to grow ahead of their upcoming challenging trip to North London. Despite their strong goal-scoring record, they are likely to struggle against the top attack and defense in the Premier League as the gunners are expected to dominate and move to the top of the table.
