With the first Premier League midweek fixtures of the season taking place and all games shown live on Amazon Prime Video, this could be a chance for certain teams to lay down their marker in terms of what they want to achieve during this campaign.
We have a David versus Goliath encounter on Tuesday at Kenilworth Road with league leaders Arsenal travelling to take on a Luton Town side who are only outside the relegation places due to Everton's 10-point deduction.
Luton Still Looking Over Their Shoulders
When Luton Town beat Coventry City to gain promotion to the Premier League, every man and his dog had them tipped to go back down with the lowest points total every accumulated in the history of the Premier League.
You have to give credit where it is due, the Hatters are fighting for their lives and refusing to give up. They are out of the relegation places for the time being because of what happened to Everton, but they are starting to trouble teams as it seems they have finally got to terms with what is needed at this level.
Their recent form has seen them win one, drawn one and lost three. Two of those defeats saw them concede three goals in both matches, but they are not getting blown away by teams.
Luton do not have the strongest of squads in the Premier League and have a number of key players on the sidelines. Captain Tom Lockyer was taken off in their defeat at Brentford with a back injury and he will miss the game against Arsenal. Lockyer will be a huge loss for a team already without the likes of Cauley Woodrow, Mads Andersen and Dan Potts.
Carlton Morris is Luton's leading goalscorer this season with three, although he has not found the target since their 2-1 win at Everton in September. Their main threat at the moment comes from Jacob Brown and Elijah Adebayo who have scored four goals between them this season - both of Brown's coming in their last two games.
Gunners Going For Four In A Row
Last season's title failure seems to have spurred the Gunners on as they look determined to go one better than their second-place finish. Arsenal top the Premier League ladder with 33 points and have a two-point lead over Liverpool and are three clear of defending champions Man City.
Mikel Arteta's men have won their last three matches in the Premier League, and they are fully expected to claim three points against Luton Town. Arsenal's 2-1 win over Wolves at the weekend looked a tough game, but realistically the Gunners could have scored four or five.
Arsenal were handed a huge injury blow in the win over Wolves with Takehiro Tomiyasu taken off with a calf problem and Arteta will be hoping it is not too serious. The Japan international joins Thomas Partey and Emile Smith-Rowe on the sidelines.
Head to Head
Considering Luton Town had not been in the top flight of English football since the 1991-92 campaign, it is not a surprise that they have not played each other in recent years.
Their last encounter took place in that 1991-92 campaign on Boxing Day with Luton Town winning 1-0 thanks to a goal from Town legend Mick Harford.
In the years before, Luton had been a match for Arsenal. Out of 32 encounters, Luton have won eight and Arsenal have been successful in 16. None of this means anything ahead of this game because of the length of time that has passed, but the home fans will be up for this game and will look to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the Gunners.

Our Betting Tip for Today-
Arsenal to win to nil - 10/11 @ Copybet
It is no surprise that Arsenal are heavy favourites to win this. The Gunners are odds-on favourites at 2/9, while Luton are a massive 11/1 to take the three points. A draw would be a great result for Luton - however unlikely - and you can back that at 11/2.
Arsenal to maintain unbeaten run
The Gunners have won four matches in succession in all competitions - three in the Premier League and one in the Champions League. That defeat against Newcastle United has realigned their focus and they look more determined than ever.
Arsenal have kept six clean sheets in the Premier League this season and even without Tomiyasu in their defence on Tuesday, I think they will be able to keep Luton Town at bay with ease and claim another clean sheet.
