Luton Town vs Arsenal live score, updates, highlights & lineups from Premier League fixture
Luton Town host Premier League leaders Arsenal at Kenilworth Road with the home side looking to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat to Brentford at the weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s men top the league by two points over Liverpool and lead reigning champions and Treble winners Manchester City by three points, after three consecutive league victories.
On the flip side, the Hatters have only secured two wins this season, seeing them sit in 17th position. They find themselves just above the relegation zone solely due to Everton’s 10-point deduction, although they have taken points off Liverpool at home this term.

Luton Town vs Arsenal live updates, highlights from Premier League
44th minute: Ross Barkley goes into the book for his latest wild challenge, this time on Martinelli out wide.
37th minute: Arsenal had started to gain a bit more control after Luton drew level but the home side have thwarted their attacks so far.
32nd minute: What a save from Kaminski! He denies Martinelli a second with a fine save at the near post.
30th minute: Wow Luton’s home support is up for this one. Every challenge, every pass and every foul is being cheered on.
25th minute: GOAL! 1-1! Luton equalise with a fantastic header by Osho. It’s a great out-swinging corner by Alfie Doughty and there’s not much Raya could have done about that header.
20th minute: GOAL! 1-0 Gunners! It’s Martinelli who gives the visitors the lead after a poor pass back to Kaminski, who kicked the ball out for a throw-in. Jesus’ swift decision-making finds Saka and he finds Martinelli who calmly slots it in.
11th minute: Barkley makes contact with Kiwior, as Luton continue to ruin Arsenal’s rhythm. Despite the visitors dominating possession in the early stages, Luton are consistently disrupting their play with a series of fouls, with Saka being the latest player to be fouled.
5th minute: Mengi forcefully collides with Martinelli, causing him to fall to the ground. The medical trainer is on but the Brazilian is okay to continue.
