Arsenal come into the match after a goalless draw against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Although Arsenal missed an opportunity to gain ground in the title race against Liverpool, their strong defensive display kept them in contention.
The draw extends Arsenal’s unbeaten streak to 5 games across all competitions.
They’ve secured victories over Newcastle United and Brentford at home, Sheffield United away, and Porto at home in the Champions League.
Arsenal has not lost in their last 9 Premier League matches and has an impressive home record, being unbeaten in 30 of their last 33 home games and winning 9 out of their last 10 league matches at home.
In their last 3 home Premier League games, there have been over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored.
Luton Town travels to the Emirates Stadium following a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Despite taking an early lead and being ahead 1-0 at halftime, Luton Town conceded an equalizer in the 51st minute and the winning goal 4 minutes from time.
This defeat adds to Luton Town’s winless streak of 10 games across all competitions.
They’ve suffered defeats at home against Sheffield United, Manchester United, and Aston Villa, as well as losses to Manchester City at home in the FA Cup, and Liverpool and Bournemouth away in the Premier League.
Luton Town has won only 5 of their last 30 Premier League matches and has seen both teams score in their last 10 away games across all competitions.
However, they’ve managed only 1 win in their last 11 league away games.
Team news:
Arsenal is missing injured defender Jurrien Timber. Other than that, all players are available, but Mikel Arteta might make a few changes from the Manchester City draw, with Gabriel Martinelli and Thomas Partey possibly entering the lineup.
Luton Town faces severe injury concerns and could be without up to 10 players for this game.
Albert Sambi Lokonga, Jacob Brown, Chiedozie Ogbene, Gabriel Osho, Amarii Bell, Dan Potts, Elijah Adebayo, Mads Juel Andersen, Marvelous Nakamba, and Tom Lockyer are all missing for selection.
Prediction:
Despite their injury woes, Luton Town performed well against Spurs, and their away form suggests they could score in this match.
However, Arsenal’s focus on the title should see them through, likely with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
