arsenal1718English Premier League leaders Arsenal are in action on Tuesday night when they visit Luton and the visitors are a very short price to come away with maximum points

 

 

 

Luton

 

Luton went down 3-1 away to Brentford last weekend and with 9 points they are fourth from bottom, 2 points lcear of third bottom Everton and second bottom Burnley.

 

Two recent home games offer encouragement, a 1-1 draw with Liverpool who equalized deep into injury time and a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. Their only other victory this season came away at Everton and the only home match where they failed to score came in a 1-0 defeat Spurs who played most of the game with 10 men.

 

Arsenal

 

The Gunners recorded a third successive league win when they saw off Wolves 2-1 in a home fixture last Saturday. They finished the round at the top of the standings, 2 points clear of Liverpool and 3 in front of Manchester City who are third whilst Villa are 4 points adrift in fourth.

 

Arsenal's only league defeat this season came away from home at Newcastle. They have hosted 2 newly promoted sides, thrashing Sheffield United 5-0 and they also beat Brighton 3-1.

 

Recent Head to Head

 

This will be the first meeting between the sides since 1992.

 

 

The Betting

 

At the time of writing Luton are trading at 11.5/1 to win the game with the draw priced at 5.64/1 and Arsenal can be backed at around 0.22/1

 

A game of 3 goals or more is priced at 5/10 and it's 21/20 for both teams to score

The Verdict:

 

Luton have not conceded more than 2 goals in any home fixture so far and a repeat of their performance against Liverpool at this tight venue would see Arsenal having to work harder to claim another victory than the odds suggest.

 

That said, it's really hard to look past Arsenal right now and whilst Saka has been delivering in the goalscorer markets for me lately this time I'm chancing my arm with Martin Odegaard

 

Bets: Anytime goalscorer Martin Odegaard at 18/10 with Playabets
