Arsenal vs Leeds United

Arsenal welcome Leeds United to Emirates Stadium for their first Premier League home game of the season.

Both teams are looking to build on wins on the opening weekend and will be fired up for this one. However, the Gunners are usually solid at home and given their fine record in this fixture, should have the upper hand here.

Arsenal News

Arsenal come into this clash off the back of a 1-0 victory at Manchester United in their opening fixture. Ricardo Calafiori struck the only goal early in the first half, and they were able to hold on for the win.

Manager Mikel Arteta admitted his team were not at their best but will be pleased to have kicked off their title quest with three points. The Gunners are now back at the Emirates, where they are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches.

Kai Havertz has been ruled out with a knee injury, but Arsenal have enough cover in attack and three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. They have scored the first goal in the first half in their last two matches and led at the break in both fixtures.

Leeds United News

Leeds United claimed a similar result in their opening fixture as they edged out Everton 1-0 at home. They struggled to get going for much of the game before Lukas Nmecha struck the winner from a controversial penalty late in the second half.

While Leeds United were not at their best, they will take the win in their first home game back in the Premier League. Manager Daniel Farke will be particularly pleased with the result as his team failed to win a single preseason game.

Leeds United may have scored just once in the first fixture, but they have a reputation for their open style of play. This style has seen three of their last four competitive matches produce over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Arsenal often dominate this fixture and are unbeaten in the last 12 matches against Leeds United. The Gunners did the double during the 2022-23 season, winning 1-0 away from home before claiming a 4-1 victory at the Emirates.

Verdict

Arsenal v Leeds

Arsenal often make light work of Leeds United and will be keen to put on a show in front of their fans. Having opened the scoring in the first half in their last two matches and also led at the break in both fixtures, a similar pattern is expected here.

The Gunners have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in three of their last four matches against Leeds United and could be set for a repeat.
