Arteta’s View on Luton

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta shared his thoughts ahead of the match against Luton. He said, “We’re going to be needing even more. It’s after two and a half days. [Luton] are in a really good moment – when you see the games that they have played and even when they haven’t won, they’ve been really tough. We have had some extraordinary results against the other two teams that are, at the moment, leading the table. We are not top so that means that we have missed certain points somewhere else and that’s what we have to put the emphasis on now tomorrow.”
