Arsenal:

Arsenal, who are now ranked second in the league and only two points behind leaders Liverpool due to a superior goal differential, have a fantastic opportunity to take the top spot if they win this game.

Luton:

Rob Edwards' team has now lost nine games without a victory as Luton gave up a 1-0 lead early on to lose 2-1 against Tottenham, Arsenal's north London rivals.
