Premier League log leaders Arsenal travel to Kenilworth Road to cross swords with Luton Town in the hopes of extending their lead at the summit.
Luton Town are just a spot above the drop zone and their defeat against Brentford dampened their hopes of climbing up. With just two points separating Luton and safety, Rob Edwards' men would be vying to produce an upset against a high-flying Arsenal side.
Mikel Arteta's have found their footing in England's premier division as they are back at the pinnacle of the table. Manchester City and Liverpool played out draws in their weekend matches giving the Gunners a cushion of three points. The 2-1 win at Emirates was Arsenal's 10th of the season and the fixture against Luton should be a routine victory for the North London powerhouses.
