Leeds vs Arsenal Predictions

• Leeds are enduring their joint worst winless run under Jesse Marsch’s tenure (D2, L3).
• Arsenal have won each of their last six games, thrice with multi-goal margins.
• Arsenal scored at least three goals in five of their last six away games against Leeds.
• Arsenal scored at least twice in nine of their last ten Premier League games.

Lowly Leeds are expected to struggle

A 2-1 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last time out extended Leeds’ winless run to five games (D2, L3), their joint worst run under the stewardship of Jesse Marsch. That run left them just three points above the drop zone ahead of this round and that could be about to get worse as they welcome the irresistible Arsenal to Elland Road.

Despite their lowly position, Leeds actually have the league’s best home defensive record with just two goals conceded. That solidity helped them pick up the lion’s share of their points here, yet the only side they’ve faced that is currently of European calibre was Chelsea.

The Gunners can’t stop firing

Following an incredible start to the Premier League season (W8, L1), Arsenal have the advantage of playing earlier than Manchester City this Sunday as victory will extend their lead at the top to four points, albeit temporarily if Haaland & co can overcome Liverpool at Anfield.

Arsenal have the best home form in the league (W3, L1) and three of their last six victories in all competitions came with multi-goal margins, suggesting that they’ll be right up for the challenge that Leeds pose.

History favours the gunners as well, with Arsenal leading at both half-time and full-time in five of the last six away H2H encounters. Moreover, Arsenal scored at least three goals in five of their last six visits to Elland Road. With the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli in attack, Leeds can’t expect to have a nice lazy Sunday.

Gun for glory and back the Arsenal to win big

Fans and pundits alike are starting to wake up and take notice of Arsenal as potentially serious title contenders, and they’ll need to win here if they are to prove them right. We’re going for Arsenal to send a message to Pep Guardiola’s Citizens with a -1 handicap-busting victory.

Sticking with Arsenal’s trend of scoring big at this venue, we’re siding with a 3-0 win for Mikel Arteta’s men in the correct score market.

Gabriel Martinelli is worth a second look in the anytime scorer market, he has contributed to three goals in his last two Premier League appearances against Tottenham and Liverpool, so he may find the challenge of Leeds a little bit easier!
