Arsenal continue their title push against relegation-battling Luton at Emirates Stadium.
Victory would see Arsenal move top of the table, whilst Luton could climb out of the relegation zone with a win.

Stat Attack
- Arsenal won their only previous Premier League clash against Luton by 4-3 result in December 2023.
- This is Luton’s first Premier League visit to Arsenal and maiden trip to the Emirates Stadium.
- Luton are winless in their last 11 league visits to Arsenal, of which those trips all took place at the Gunners’ former home – Highbury (D1, L10).
- Kai Havertz has scored in each of West Ham’s last two home matches in the league.
- Luton are yet to score from outside of the box this season in the top-flight.
Prediction
Having scrapped their way to a goalless draw at Man City with a brilliantly resilient defensive display, Arsenal now have a chance to put the title destiny back in their hands with a return to their fearsome attacking form if can get those goalscoring boots back on.
Luton though will surely be a threat on the counter-attack like they were at Spurs but Doughty and Chong will be major losses on top of their current injury crisis, which is something that Rob Edwards’ Hatters must overcome tactically if want any chance of a result if both players are not fit.
In fact I would say that it’s vital that Luton score first because if Arsenal turn up and get on the front foot early, there is surely one result looming.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Luton
Result: Arsenal 2-0 Luton
