Match Preview
Arsenal have made a strong start to the new season, and they sit top of the standings for the second season running at this stage of the campaign. The Gunners come into this match on the road after winning each of their previous three. Their win over Wolves on Saturday saw Arsenal open up a two-point lead over Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Luton remain outside the bottom three places at present, but their advantage over the relegation spots is now just two points. The Hatters suffered a second defeat in three Premier League matches over the weekend, and only a victory on Tuesday will see them keep hold of their spot in 17th in the standings.

This will be the first meeting between these London sides since Luton landed a 1-0 win in December 1991. Meanwhile, the Gunners are winless in their last ten away games against the Hatters across all competitions, with their most recent win coming in the form of a 2-1 success in January 1984.
However, Luton have underperformed against sides starting the day at the top of the standings. They come into this match after winning just once in 14 attempts, with their only success being a 3-1 win over Liverpool in February 1991. Meanwhile, Arsenal have won 55.7% of their fixtures played in the middle of the week.
Luton vs Arsenal Prediction
It looks incredibly challenging to overlook Arsenal this week, as they have excelled in the Premier League to this point. However, it could be a closer game than many expect, meaning a chance is taken on Arsenal to win by a one-goal margin.
