Our prediction for this Premier League match:
David faces Goliath at Emirates Stadium as Arsenal and Luton Town square off against each other in the Premier League round 31. The Gunners did well to hold Man City to a goalless draw in the Premier League derby at the weekend and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Influential winger Bukayo Saka should keep his place in the starting eleven despite suffering a minor injury against the Citizens, while defender Jurrien Timber remains in the recovery room.
The Hatters, on the other hand, failed to upset Tottenham in London on Saturday, with the team dropping to the relegation zone. As Luton struggle on the travels, especially against top-table sides, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the visiting side, they are hit by injuries, with all Amarii Bell, Gabriel Osho, Chiedozie Ogbene, Marvelous Nakamba, Tom Lockyer, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Elijah Adebayo missing out.
Highlighted Player (Thomas Partey):
After starting his youth career at Odometah, Thomas Partey was spotted by Atletico Madrid scouts in 2011 and he soon joined the Estadio Vicente Calderon outfit. The defensive midfielder, who born in Odumase Krobo, Ghana on 13 June, 1993, played 33 league games for Atletico Madrid B, while making 14 league appearances for the first team.
After ending his loan spells with Mallorca and Almeria, Thomas Partey returned to Atletico Madrid in 2015 and he made his debut for Diego Simeone’s team in a 1-0 win over Espanyol. The Ghanaian footballer played in the 2015/2016 Champions League final against Real Madrid, coming as a substitute in the 116th minute of the game.
Thomas Partey made his Ghana debut in a 2-0 win over Mauritius in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match. His main position is defensive midfield, but the Atletico Madrid man is capable of playing as a central midfielder as well. Partey scored two goals for los Rojiblancos in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign.
Highlighted Team (Luton ):
Founded back on April 11, 1885, Luton Town are an English club that compete in the Championship. The Hatters welcome their rivals at Kenilworth Road, the stadium which was opened in 1905. The capacity of the stadium is 10,356, with Luton Borough Council owning the venue.
Luton Town wear orange shirts with a little white and dark blue and dark blue shorts when playing at home, whilst their away colours are white and dark blue. Andy Rennie is the club’s all-time top scorer, netting 162 goals in all competitions for the Hatters. The likes of Joe Payne, Hugh Billington, Bernard Streten, Dyd Owen, Bob Morton, Ron Baynham, Gordon Turner and Mal Donaghy are one of the club’s most notable players as well.
Luton Town finished the 2018/2019 League One campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will compete in the Championship in the 2019/2020 season.
