Arsenal approaches the upcoming game after a tough away battle with “Manchester City” (0:0). The “Gunners” are currently in second place, trailing “Liverpool” by two points. Considering the stiff competition, dropping points in matches against underdogs is definitely not an option. In the calendar year 2024, Mikel Arteta’s team has yet to lose in the Premier League with eight wins and one draw. At home, Arsenal has suffered only one defeat since the beginning of the season, losing in the London derby to “West Ham” (0:2). The club has only one absence: defender Jurrien Timber will not take the field due to injury.
Luton Town continues to battle for survival. In the last round, the “Hatters” came close to taking points away from “Tottenham” on the road. They were leading until the 51st minute but couldn’t withstand the pressure from the superior opponent and lost 1:2. In the league table, Rob Edwards’ team is in the relegation zone, in 18th place, but only trails “Nottingham Forest” on additional indicators. Despite a nine-match winless streak, “Luton Town” fights until the last minute in every game, regardless of the opponent’s level. They haven’t lost by more than two goals in their last five matches. In the injury list are forwards Yakubu Brown, Chedozie Ogbene, and Elijah Adebayo, defenders Gabriel Osho, Amari’i Bell, Tom Lockyer, and Mads Andersen, as well as midfielders Albert Sambi Lokonga and Marvelous Nakamba.
