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.

“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.”
