Home » Arsenal vs Leeds: Can the Gunners Extend Their Winning Run?
Arsenal vs Leeds United often provides a close Premier League game. These teams are both in hot form making for a blockbusting encounter. Arsenal are keen to keep the pressure on the title race, while Leeds will want to show that they are not out of their depth after promotion.
The Gunners have been in a great form; winning every game in their last 4 matches they’ve shown the form to back it up. They achieved a 1-0 win away at Manchester United in their previous game, a result that has supporters brimming with belief. Arsenal have found the back of the net in each of their last six outings, netting 8 goals in those fixtures.
Their defense has opened gaps from time to time (7 goals allowed in six games) but have still found a way to get results. Arsenal also carry a strong track record into this match. Arsenal has not lost to Leeds in their last eight league meetings. This record gives the team confidence before the game.
Leeds, meanwhile, will enter London with no fear. The Whites have now won six games on the spin, a run that includes a scrappy 1-0 win against Everton in their previous Premier League outing. On their remarkable run, Leeds have scored 16 and conceded just two – a stunning exhibition of coming forth on the offense and a great display at the back.
Both managers will probably go with what’s worked well so far, although there’ll be the odd tactical adjustment – as well as a few enforced by fitness and form issues. Here’s a look at how the lineups could look:
Arsenal (4-3-3): David Raya; Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Riccardo Calafiori; Martin Ødegaard, Martín Zubimendi, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyökeres, Gabriel Martinelli.
Mikel Arteta has an almost full-strength squad. The big absence is that of injured Gabriel Jesus (long term for him), so new signing Gyökeres or youngster Eddie Nketiah could be the ones given the attacking job up top. With a steady midfield honed by Rice and Ødegaard’s finesse, the XI for Arsenal looks decent and stable.
Leeds United (4-2-3-1): Lucas Perri; Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, Gabriel Gudmundsson; Ethan Ampadu, Anton Stach; Daniel James, Ao Tanaka, Wilfried Gnonto; Joël Piroe.
Manager Daniel Farke will probably use the same players who beat Everton. Without any significant injuries, Leeds should have their main offensive players ready. Gnonto and Piroe are expected to start up front, giving the team plenty of threat going forward. Grit and passing range are provided by the midfield tandem of Ampadu and Stach. There’s an infectious enthusiasm in this Leeds lineup and pace to burn on the wings, which they are going to need if they are to pick at Arsenal’s back line.

Admittedly, form and stats will be doing the rounds, but our GSB Uganda expert analysis witness a home win here. It’ll come down to Arsenal’s mix of firepower and home ground advantage. Leeds will give it their all. The squad feels good, and their recent results show this. But Arsenal’s many good players and experience in important games could decide the outcome.
Prediction: Arsenal 3–1 Leeds United
What’s likely? Arsenal might give Leeds some chances, but during the game, they should find ways to score against the Leeds defense.
Leeds could score a goal on the break or from a set-piece (they’ve been about as good as can be, recently), but Arsenal’s front four being kept silent at home for 90 minutes will be asking a lot.
