Gabriel Jesus could make Premier League history in Arsenal’s Premier League match against Luton Town.
On Wednesday night, the Gunners have the chance to regain top spot in the Premier League table when they welcome Luton to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal are currently two points behind leaders Liverpool, who are not in action until Thursday night.

Jesus’ birthday lands on the same day as Arsenal’s match against Luton.
When he was playing for Manchester City, Jesus scored on his 24th birthday against Leicester City, meaning he could become the first player to score a Premier League goal on his birthday for two different clubs.
Recently, Jesus was criticised by former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who said on Viaplay: “There’s a lot [of similarities between current Arsenal side and his team], [Martin] Odegaard and [Dennis] Bergkamp…
“They have no Thierry Henry at the moment because I think Gabriel Jesus is injured a lot. There are more goals in him than what you see at the moment.”

He added: “What the top, top player doesn’t tolerate is [being] in and out. The guys who make history are the guys who are consistently there. [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi, they play for 15 years, 50 to 60 games per year.”
After the 0-0 draw against City, Jesus said: “The way I am, I try everything I can to help my team. It doesn’t matter where I play, I always try to do my best.
“I did it [against City]. I was very deep, normally I am not that deep, but I had to play as the winger.”

He continued: “I think I help my team playing like this. And then also, when we there [in attack], I created some chances. I could do a little bit better, but football is like this sometimes.
“This is the most beautiful part of the season, you try everything to win titles. It’s the Premier League, it’s a tough league and anything can happen. It is only two points the difference [with Liverpool] and then we have a very good goal difference. Everything counts at the end, but there are still a lot of games.”
