Luton manager Rob Edwards says Arsenal can do something no other Premier League side can

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has now claimed that Arsenal are clear of both Liverpool and Manchester City in one regard.

Mikel Arteta will have surely been expecting a slightly bigger test at the Emirates l꧟ast night.

Making five changes across his team, the Arsenal boss took a calcul✅ated risk, one that ultimately did pay dividends.

It’s not necessarily leaving Arsenal exposed by fielding players as good as Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe, but it’s more about who was missing.

Declan Rice remained on the bench for the first hour and Bukayo Saka was involved at all.

That being said, Martin Odegaard really stepped up and p﷽layed a key role, demonstrating just how crucial he has become.

And despite only seeing half of Arsenal’s potential last night, Rob Edwards was still blown away by the level of the hosts.

Speaking in his press conference after the game, Edwards thought Arteta’s side could s🉐imply do♏ everything.

Rob Edwards says Arsenal are the most versatile team in the Premier League right now

Edwards explained that Arsenal give teams next to no chances – a comment justified by the club’s xGa, and said they can do𒐪 almost everything.

He said: “They give you nothin🧔g. It’s really clear𝔉 how they attack, but difficult to stop.

“They are maybe the one team at the moment that can play any gꦚame – a physical game, a running game.”

Of course, Arteta’s project𒁃 has been questioned so many times over the last few years.

It was only a few months ago Arsenal were though💖t to be desperate for a striker, a team who had got the balance wrong and become too focused on🐠 defending, not finishing their chances.

But th🌳e steady improvement has been remarkable, and whilst defending and attacking, Arsenal are able to match teams in all aspects as Rob Edwards mentions.

Of course, this will all count for very little unl🌼ess Arsenal are able to begin to win serious silverware.

And Arteta has left himself with the two hardest tasks, the Premier League and the Champions Leagไue𒁏.

And in order ♏to achieve those goals, it really will be a ca♕se of taking one game at a time.

That being said, both Ian Wright and Roy Keane haveꦕ just shared th✨eir score predictions for Arsenaꩵl’s trip to face Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.
