Twenty-four hours at the top of the Premier League table will be Arsenal‘s prize if they can return to victorious ways at home to Luton Town on Wednesday evening. Mikel Arteta‘s gritty men snatched a praiseworthy point away from Manchester City at the weekend, whereas the Hatters failed to cling onto a 1-0 lead versus Tottenham Hotspur, going down 2-1 in North London.
Avoiding the customary Etihad embarrassment was priority number one for Arsenal during Easter Sunday’s main event, which kicked off moments after Liverpool had risen to the summit by overcoming Brighton & Hove Albion, piling even more pressure on the shoulders of both teams.
Still one point clear of the current holders in second position, Arsenal now have a two-point disadvantage to make up to Liverpool – who do not play again until Thursday evening – so the Gunners need only follow their perfect pattern against newly-promoted sides to momentarily return to the summit.
While Luton may have gleaned zero points from their trip to Tottenham, their grit and determination was made all the more impressive due to their eye-watering injury list, which is showing no signs of letting up before another taxing North London trip.
Faced with the best attack and defence in the Premier League, though, the Hatters’ prolific run in front of goal should finally come to an end, as the Gunners run riot against their ravaged visitors to ascend to first place.
