Arteta says he expects difficult game at 'remarkable' Luton Town
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he admires Luton Town and their "remarkable" journey to get to the Premier League, adding he expects a difficult game at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday.
"It's an inspiring place and what they've done is remarkable. The way they did it and what they transmit is an amazing story," Arteta told reporters on Monday.
Arsenal moved two points clear of Liverpool on top of the standings following their 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton on Saturday, while Luton, who climbed their way up from non-league football to the Premier League in nine years, are 17th in their debut season in the top flight, two points above the drop zone.
"They deserve all the credit they're getting from last season and the close games they've had this season," Arteta said. "(Tuesday) will be an intense and difficult match.
"(Rob Edwards) is a great coach and a really special person. You can tell that in the way his team plays. I think they're a really good team and that doesn't reflect in their results. It's inspiring to play them and we're ready to go."
