Luton Town boss Rob Edwards is under no illusions facing Arsenal tonight.
However, Edwards believes they’re capable of upsetting the Premier League leaders.
Edwards said: “I think they’re outstanding. I know there’s been one or two changes, the goalkeeper, Declan Rice coming in, people talk about tactical tweaks but if you look at them, they’re conceding so little chances at the moment.
“They’re very, very strong in all aspects. They can control a game, they give very little chances away, set-pieces they’re strong, they’re quick, they’re big, technically good, so all the best!
“They’re very well organised, they can suffocate you, they’ve got such power as well as technique and speed, so I actually think they’re a stronger outfit than last year. Some would argue not quite as free-flowing and not scoring as many, but I just think they’ve got such strength in every single aspect of the game now, that makes it really difficult to break them down.
“We weren’t expected to (get a result) against Liverpool and we nearly won that game, we got something from it when we weren’t supposed to
“So we’ll approach the game in the same way we do every game and try to find a way to win, that’s what we always do. We know it’s going to be very, very difficult, amazing football team, huge football club we’re coming up against, the best managers, the best players, some of them in the world.
“So it’s a really exciting challenge for us, we know the expectation is on the opposition and our focus is let’s get something from the game.”
Edwards continued: “We’re going to have to be very good without the ball as we’re not going to have the ball loads. So we’ll have to be very, very disciplined, we need to be more aggressive than we were at the weekend and we need to retain a real threat when we do win the ball back.
“In the recent games against Palace, Liverpool at home, we’ve done that well, when we’ve won the ball back we’ve had a threat, had a purpose in our play so that’s something we’ve got to be really, really good at.
“It’s a hard game, we all know that, but like every team they’re going to give some spaces away, they have to, every team does. We’ll look to try and exploit any areas we can, we have a clear plan and we’ll try to carry it out as best as possible.”
