The Gunners know they dropped points in the title race to Liverpool but it was a strong defensive performance from Arsenal and means they stay in contention for the title.
The draw at Manchester City means Arsenal are undefeated in their 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been victories over Newcastle United and Brentford at home in the Premier League, Sheffield United away in the Premier League, and Porto at home in the Champions League.
Statistics show Arsenal are undefeated in their last 9 Premier League games in a row. They are undefeated in 30 of their last 33 home Premier League matches and have won 9 of their last 10 league fixtures on home soil.
There have been over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in each of Arsenal’s last 3 home Premier League games.
Luton Town make the short journey to the Emirates Stadium on the back of a 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
It was Luton Town who opened the scoring after only 3 minutes and The Hatters led 1-0 at the interval. Into the second half and Spurs equalised in the 51st minute and netted the winner 4 minutes from time.
The defeat at Spurs means Luton Town have failed to win any of their 10 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been defeats at home against Sheffield United, Manchester United, and Aston Villa in the Premier League, Manchester City at home in the FA Cup, plus Liverpool and Bournemouth away in the Premier League.
Trends show Luton Town are on a poor run of just 5 wins in 30 Premier League matches. In their 10 most recent away games in all competitions, Luton Town have seen both teams score.
However, they have recorded only 1 win from their last 11 league games on the road.
Team news: Arsenal are without injured defender Jurrien Timber. Every other player is available but Mikel Arteta may make a couple of changes from the draw at Manchester City, with Gabriel Martinelli and Thomas Partey coming into the team.
Luton Town have severe injury problems and could be without up to 10 players for this game. Chiedozie Ogbene, Gabriel Osho, Amarii Bell, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Jacob Brown, Dan Potts, Elijah Adebayo, Mads Juel Andersen, Marvelous Nakamba, and Tom Lockyer are all unavailable.
Despite their injury problems, Luton Town gave Spurs a good game on the weekend and their away record suggests they could score in this match. However, Arsenal are focused on the title and they should have more than enough to win this game, with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
