Luton Town-Arsenal is a match valid for the fifteenth day of the Premier League and is played on Tuesday at 9:15 pm: TV, formations, predictions.
Arsenal remained at the top of the standings at the end of the fourteenth day in which, in addition to the Gunners, only Liverpool won among the top four. Both Aston Villa, but especially Manchester City, drew, allowing Mikel Arteta’s team – which made no mistake against Wolverhampton, folded 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium – to continue to look down on everyone and move up to +2 on second place.
Two points that could become five if the Londoners also do their homework in the away match, on paper anything but prohibitive with newly promoted Luton Town in one of the two midweek round advances. The opportunity, in short, is a good one, as for example Cityzens and Villans will take points off each other in the match scheduled at Villa Park on Wednesday. For Arsenal, the one with Wolverhampton was their fifth win in a row in all competitions, coming just days after Zinchenko and co. annihilated Lens 6-0 in the Champions League, taking qualification and first place in their group. The Wolves capitulated almost immediately in north London, conceding two goals in the first thirteen minutes (Saka, Odegaard). Arsenal then had several opportunities to score the third but were short on goals.
The Gunners return to Kenilworth Road after 32 years
And in the final period it ran into a few thrills: Wolverhampton shortened the gap with Cunha, forcing the Gunners to defend the result tooth and nail.
Sharp defeat instead for Luton Town at home to Brentford (3-1), whose stadium is not too far from Arsenal’s. The Hatters did not follow up their home win with Crystal Palace, taking their fifth defeat in the last eight days. Luton hasn’t faced Arsenal in 32 years – the Premier League didn’t yet exist at the time, but it was still called the First Division – but boasts a long winning streak against the Gunners, who have always been defeated at Kenilworth Road in their last 11 appearances
The Prediction
With Brentford, Luton lost two starting defenders (Mengi and captain Lockyer) who will most likely not be on the field against Arsenal. Thus, a far from complicated away game looms for the Gunners, who should score between two and four goals in the challenge with the Hatters.
