Arsenal head into Wednesday’s Premier League clash against Luton Town with the chance to knock off Liverpool at the top of the table, before the Reds take on Sheffield United on Thursday at Anfield. But how should Mikel Arteta approach this fixture? We take a look at Arsenal’s strongest possible lineup to dismantle Luton and secure a crucial three points.
In Goal: David Raya remains Arsenal’s undisputed number one. His commanding presence and shot-stopping ability provide a safe pair of hands at the back.
Defense: William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes have formed a formidable partnership in central defense. Expect them to continue their duties, offering a resolute wall against Luton’s attack. At left-back, Jacob Kiwior provides a good balance of attacking threat and defensive solidity. Takehiro Tomiyasu might get the nod at right-back, offering his pace and energy down the flank.
Midfield: Declan Rice is the anchor in Arsenal’s midfield, dictating the tempo and providing a vital shield for the defense. Jorginho offers a more box-to-box presence alongside Odegaard, adding energy and driving runs forward.
Attack: Bukayo Saka is undroppable on the right wing, his skill and trickery a constant threat to opposition defenses. Gabriel Martinelli should occupy the left flank, using his pace and directness to cause problems. The creative hub in midfield could be Martin Ødegaard, pulling the strings and unlocking Luton’s defense with his vision and passing range.
Striker: Up front, the in-form Kai Havertz leads the line. His movement, work ethic, and goalscoring prowess make him a nightmare for defenders.
