ARSENAL can reclaim top spot in the Premier League with three points on Wednesday – but relegation-threatened Luton stand in their way.
It ended all square at the Etihad in the Gunners’ last encounter against Manchester City.
And as a result, Liverpool finished Easter Sunday two points ahead of the pack following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton.
However, Mikel Arteta’s men will be expected to return to winning ways against a Luton side who were beaten by Tottenham despite leading for a large percentage of the match.
But the reverse fixture at Kenilworth Road proved that Arsenal cannot take anything for granted.
