Luton boss Edwards remains confident staying up

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards still believes his team will remain in the Premier League.

While the newly promoted minnows are favorites to go down, Edwards hopes they can pick up vital points in the coming weeks.

After losing 2-0 to Arsenal on Wednesday, Luton have now gone ten matches without a win.

Edwards said post-game: I've honestly believed it from day one. As soon as we got promoted, I believed it that we can do this. I believe with every fibre of my being in this group. We've had a lot thrown at us over the last few weeks. Towards the end of January, February I'm looking at us and thinking, I really like what I'm seeing at the moment, we're really really competing in this league and we're looking good.

"Over the last few weeks we've had a lot of injuries, clearly, and it has knocked us. It's knocked a little bit of rhythm, but I still see a team that's competing with Villa, with Tottenham, with Bournemouth, Palace, Forest, we're in all the games. Tonight, we're in it. If we get a goal on 82 minutes or something, we're in the game, maybe it can become a little bit nervy.

"We weren't out of sight, I know you could say Arsenal, they defend so well, they're brilliant, and they give hardly anything away, but we weren't out of the game, we weren't. That's what gives me belief in these players, when I look in their eyes in the dressing room at the end, I can see they're with us, I can see they're with me, they believe, and all our focus now has to go on to Saturday, it has to."
