Luton vs Arsenal Prediction

Luton Form

Showing inconsistent form, Luton lost two of their past three matches, going down 1-0 against Manchester United, before beating Crystal Palace 2-1. The joy was short-lived, as Brentford proved too strong in a 3-1 defeat. Luton just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the Kenilworth Road. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded eight goals.

Arsenal Form

In their last three matches, Arsenal first beat Brentford 0-1, then Lens by 6-0 and finally Wolverhampton by 2-1. Arsenal came through their last six away games in the Premier League with four wins. Of those six matches, they drew once and lost once in which, they scored nine and conceded three.

Arsenal are on the look-out for a win, and we expect them to claim it in a high scoring match, when they visit Luton at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday.

Arsenal have been very dominant in their previous five encounters with teams from the bottom six. They picked up more points against lowly ranked opponents than any other top team this season. They collected five wins, 15 points, while scoring 15 and conceding two goals. Luton enjoy a record of two wins, three draws and nine defeats in the Premier League this season. Arsenal put ten wins, three draws and one defeat on the board in the Premier League.
