In the match Luton vs Arsenal, the favorite is obvious. As the current frontrunners in the Premier League, Arsenal is well-positioned to extend their lead and consolidate their top spot. Arsenal currently sits in first place with 33 points, followed by Liverpool (31) and Manchester City (30).
- Arsenal – 33 points
- Liverpool – 31 points
- Manchester City – 30 points
- Aston Villa – 29 points
- Tottenham – 27 points
Arsenal is expected to field their starting XI, with Martinelli-Jesus-Saka probably spearheading the forward line. The Gunners’ schedule is rather favourable, as they will face Aston Villa on December 9 and PSV Eindhoven three days later, followed by Brighton at home on the 17th. This arrangement allows Arteta’s key players adequate rest and minimizes the risk of significant injuries, a crucial factor behind their title charge, especially since no major player has suffered an injury so far.

Luton vs Arsenal, Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Arsenal to win
- Odds: -434 (Tonybet)
Arsenal has won all last five games, spanning both the Premier League and the Champions League. The Gunners recently delivered a resounding 6-0 victory over Lens, featuring six different scorers, sending a clear message to their less formidable opponents: Arsenal is a team to be reckoned with.
In the match against Lens, Arsenal’s high high efficiency could be explained by the failure of the French club’s defense. However, in the game against Wolverhampton, especially in the first half, Arsenal were excellent at creating combinations on both flanks.
Jesus, Saka, Edegor, and Zinchenko all showed phenomenal understanding, playing the ball at a very high pace in the final third of the opponent’s pitch. It is quite possible to say that in the first half against Wolves, Arsenal showed perhaps their best performance of the current season. This improvement in attacking play could help Arsenal go through the toughest period of the season from early December to mid-January.
Luton sit at the other end of the table. They take 17th place, as their victory against Crystal Palace temporarily got them out of the relegation zone. In addition, not long ago, Luton created huge problems for Liverpool with a very organized low defensive block. However, the threat is still looming, and nothing leads to thinking that Luton could create a surprise, with Townsend being their sole notable threat.
- Bournemouth – 13 points
- Luton Town – 9 points
- Everton – 7 points
- Burnley – 7 points
- Sheffield United – 5 points
Luton vs Arsenal Betting Tip
- Pick: Martin Odegaard to score first
- Odds: +580 (Tonybet)
Martin Odegaard’s space management has been key in creating threats, particularly down the right half-space. Against Luton, who tend to be vulnerable defensively despite employing a triple center-back formation, Odegaard’s role could become even more offensive, exploiting these gaps.

As Jorginho is expected to start, seeing Odegaard at the edge of the box while the Italian will play vertical passes would not be surprising. Luton has a tendency to concede goals, particularly in the early stages of a game, and their struggle to defend the half-spaces often reflects a team lacking in confidence.
While Kai Havertz, known for his expertise in the box, isn’t expected to start, the dynamic movements of Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka could play to Odegaard’s advantage.

Their coordination might well lead to an early, perhaps unexpected, opening goal by Odegaard. Arsenal should be having a bang in Luton’s venue, a game that will reassure the much-needed confidence in light of a heavier schedule towards the end of the month, particularly as they approach the highly anticipated ‘Boxing Day’ fixtures.
