Arsenal Starting XI Prediction vs Luton Town

Arsenal’s goalless draw with Manchester City yesterday was certainly nothing to write home about. And the overall drabness and dullness of it, will soon be erased from our collective memories. Up next is a visit from Luton Town, on Wednesday, and it is a match that will see Mikel Arteta reshuffle his lineup again. The first reshuffling occurred yesterday when the Spaniard placed Gabriel Jesus out wide, as part of a front four.

This formation saw Kai Havertz slotted in the middle, with winger Bukayo Saka (who was subbed off late for Gabe Martinelli) and midfielder Martin Odegaard rounding out the foursome up top.

And it meant Declan Rice and Jorginho were slotted in the middle of the park, with a back four, to create a very original 4-2-4 set up. While the result was tedious, pragmatic and yawn-inducing to us neutrals, it worked out for Arteta. He went to The Etihad and came away with a point. Very few teams do that!

With a visit from Luton Town in midweek, expect the Spaniard to go more conventional.
