Luton Town vs Arsenal: 3 more points for the Gunners
After a 2-1 win at home to Crystal Palace, Luton Town looked confident heading into Brentford’s trip at the weekend. And the fact that Rob Edwards’ men played well in the first 45 minutes, they held their opponents to a 0-0 draw. However, in the first 10 minutes of the second half, the visitors collapsed too quickly as Neal Maupay and Ben me conceded. Luton Town then rallied and had a goal shortened by Jacob Brown, but hosts Brentford quickly extinguished the visitors’ hopes of a point with a goal to seal the score 3-1 through Shandon Baptiste.
After the loss to Brentford, Luton Town remained 17th in the table, but with Everton beating Nottingham Forest and Burnley beating Sheffield United, the gap between them and the relegation group was just 2 points. Rob Edwards’ side are having problems both offensively and defensively. The Luton defence has not kept a clean sheet once in the Premier League this season, while the attack has scored just 13 goals, a record only better than bottom team Sheffield United.
Luton’s problem is that they didn’t play well. Of their first 14 Premier League games this season, 13 have failed to get a goal in the first half. After the loss to Brentford, Luton will face another London representative, Arsenal, in the round of 15, but this time they will be playing at home. With Luton Town vs Arsenal firmly in favour of the visitors, it is difficult for this season’s Premier League rookies to hope to pick up points against the team who are top of the table.
At home this season, the Kenilworth Road team only lost to Tottenham with a difference of 1 goal, they even drew Liverpool. It may be difficult to get a point, but Luton promises to bring certain difficulties to Mikel Arteta’s army.
On the other side of the line, Arsenal made an impressive start against Wolves. Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard scored twice to give the Gunners a 2-0 lead after just 13 minutes of play. The home side then created plenty of chances, but when their strikers squandered, the post and crossbar saved for the visitors. By squandering chances, Arsenal made it difficult for themselves to let Matheus Cunha concede in the 86th minute, thankfully the Emirates Stadium side successfully defended a 2-1 victory until the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
With 3 points, Arsenal continue to lead with 33 points from 14 games. Liverpool with a dramatic 4-3 win over Fulham rose to 2nd place, while defending champions Man City let Tottenham draw 3-3 at home and dropped to third place. The gap between the Gunners and Liverpool and Man City is 2 and 3 points respectively. Arsenal marched to Luton’s stadium with the baggage of 5 consecutive victories in all competitions, in this series Martin Odegaard and his teammates scored 14 goals and only conceded 2 goals.
In the top 4 teams in the Premier League this season, Arsenal are the team that has scored the fewest goals (29), but they are the club with the best defence in the league with only 11 goals conceded. Against the league’s 2nd worst attack like Luton, it’s possible that David Raya and Arsenal’s defenders won’t have too much work to do. The chances of Arsenal getting another clean sheet are high. Arsenal’s defence has also played extremely well away from home, with only 3 goals conceded in 6 trips away from home in the Premier League this season.
Luton have gone 11 games unbeaten against Arsenal at Kenilworth Road, they also beat the Gunners in the 1988 League Cup final to win their first major trophy, but the last game between the two teams was in 1991, when Luton beat Arsenal 1-0 at home. Since then, the two teams have never clashed in either the League Cup or the FA Cup.
On the strength front, Luton captain Tom Lockyer had to leave the pitch against Brentford, he will not recover in time to play against Arsenal. Teden Mengi also has a knee problem, he will also be absent against the Gunners. In addition, Alfie Doughty (hip), Marvelous Nakamba (knee), Mads Andersen (thigh), Reece Burke (thigh), Cauley Woodrow (calf) and Dan Potts (ankle) were all absent for different reasons. Albert Sambi Lokonga arrived at Luton from Arsenal on loan, he was ineligible to face the Gunners.
Similarly, Arsenal’s victory over Wolves was incomplete with Takehiro Tomiyasu injured, if he does not recover in time, Ben White will start on the right wing. The visitors will still be without Jurrien Timber (knee), Emile Smith Rowe (knee), Fabio Vieira (groin) and Thomas Partey (thigh) due to various injuries. Kai Havertz and Jorginho could start due to Mikel Arteta needing to rotate the squad, but Nketiah’s missed chance against Wolves could see him continue to back up Gabriel Jesus.
Luton Town vs Arsenal preview
Arsenal have overtaken Man City, Tottenham or Liverpool to get the top spot in the Premier League, they have also secured the top spot in Group B in the Champions League. The Gunners are in good form with 5 wins in all competitions. Despite being away at Luton’s stadium, Mikel Arteta’s chances of winning 3 points are still very bright, the problem is how many goals they will win. Luton won 2, drew 2 in 7 home matches this season, the other 3 matches they lost but all with a difference of 1 goal. Luton may not have a point against Arsenal, but they won’t accept defeat easily.
This match is also predicted to be scoreless. Luton are the second-worst attacking team in the league, having failed to score in 13 of their last 14 Premier League games in the first half. It is difficult for Luton to score against Arsenal, while as analyzed above, it is not easy for the Gunners to pour a rain of goals into the opponent’s net.
