The Premier League leaders will be back in action on Tuesday, as Arsenal look to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. Luton will be the huge outsiders for this fixture after falling to within two points of the relegation spots.
Premier League Preview
Arsenal have made a reliable start to the new Premier League season, as they lead the standings as we close in on the halfway point. The Gunners currently boast a two-point advantage at the summit, but that advantage could be stretched to five points before Liverpool have the opportunity to respond this weekend.
Arsenal have been in excellent recent form, as they come into this match after winning each of their last three. The Gunners also now boast the best defensive record in the competition after allowing just eleven goals this term. Arsenal needed to remain patient in their previous match in the Premier League, as they defended a 2-1 advantage in the closing stages against Wolves. The Gunners had moved two goals ahead after just 13 minutes following efforts from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
Luton come into this match looking for a response after they have suffered defeats in two of their previous three matches. The Hatters remain outside the relegation places at this stage, but they are now just two points above the bottom three. Luton could drop into the relegation spots this week if they aren’t able to claim maximum points at home against the Gunners.
Luton come into this match after suffering a 3-1 defeat in their previous fixture against Brentford. The Hatters looked set to stage a late fightback in that fixture, but Jacob Brown’s goal was cancelled out with less than ten minutes remaining by the Bees.
Luton vs Arsenal Head to Head
Arsenal have a poor record on the road against Luton, as they have gone ten without a victory against their rivals. Over that period, they have suffered four defeats, with six matches ending in draws. Luton were 1-0 winners in the last league meeting between the sides in December 1991.
Luton vs Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal’s record in this fixture would be a concern, but it looks incredibly challenging to overlook their form so far this term. For that reason, we will be siding with the Gunners picking up maximum points at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday evening.
