For the first time in 32 years, Luton Town and Arsenal will do battle in a top-flight fixture when they square off at Kenilworth Road in Tuesday's Premier League affair.
The Hatters fell to a 3-1 defeat to Brentford over the weekend, while Mikel Arteta's men extended their lead at the top of the table by seeing off Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1.
Luton's rejigged defence was breached by Neal Maupay and Ben Mee before Jacob Brown managed to pull one back for the visitors - his second goal in as many gameweeks off the bench - but Shandon Baptiste quickly restored the Bees' two-goal cushion in West London.
Edwards was under no illusions that Ltuton were second best throughout the afternoon and lamented "a few early Christmas gifts" that his side gave away in the freezing cold, although the Hatters remain just above the dotted line in 17th place for the time being owing to their maiden Premier League home win over Crystal Palace two weekends ago.
However, wins for Everton and Burnley over the weekend means that Luton only have a two-point buffer over their demotion rivals, and the hosts remain without a single clean sheet this season, while also failing to score in the first half of 13 of their 14 top-flight fixtures this term.
