Our prediction for this Premier League match:
After surviving Wolverhampton at their Emirates Stadium on Saturday, Arsenal will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on newcomers Luton at Kenilworth Road. The Gunners are determined to put an end to Man City’s dominance in the English top flight, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to turn the dream into reality. As Mikel Arteta can count on key players for the midweek clash, away win should be considered.
The Hatters, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Brentford and given Arsenal’s five-game winning run in all competitions, we predict that the league leaders are going to pick up all three points from Tuesday’s encounter. As for the home side, Jacob Brown is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while all Nakamba, Woodrow, Andersen, Lokonga, and Potts remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title.
Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since.
Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
