Arsenal boss Arteta: Luton deserve more credit than any other team in Prem

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta expects a battle tomorrow night against Luton.

Arteta says he has a lot of respect for Rob Edwards' work at Kenilworth Road.

He stated: "They have made it difficult for every team thye have faced.

"I have to give big compliments to Rob [Edwards] and the team. They deserve more credit than any other team in this league. I have the most respect for them.

"It is going to be a really tough match. We had to fight to earn the points [in the reverse fixture] so we know what we're facing tomorrow."

On changing his approach for Sunday's 0-0 draw at Manchester City, the manager also said: "You have too. Sometimes because you want to adapt and sometimes because you need to adapt.

"You have to be resilient and leave your ego and ideologies aside. Mentally we were really strong in the way that we did perform."

On his side not being satisfied with a point, Arteta added: "You prepare a game to win it and when you feel that you have what it takes to win there and you don't then you're not satisfied."
