Another big weekend in the Premier League, and this time it’s Arsenal welcoming Leeds United to the Emirates. Arsenal have started the season brightly and come into this one after nicking a hard-fought win at Old Trafford. Leeds are on a crazy run themselves with six straight wins. So, is this Arsenal’s chance to make another statement, or can Leeds spring a surprise? Let’s take a look.
Arsenal will be buzzing after Riccardo Calafiori’s goal sealed the win against Manchester United. Expect Mikel Arteta to keep faith with his core lineup. David Raya should start in goal, with Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, and Calafiori across the back. Midfield looks strong too – Ødegaard pulling the strings, Zubimendi holding, and Declan Rice driving forward. Up front? Saka, Martinelli, and summer signing Viktor Gyökeres. That’s a front line built to score goals.
Leeds have been relentless this season, and they’ll stick with their trusted 4-2-3-1. Lucas Perri will start in goal, protected by Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, and Gudmundsson. Ethan Ampadu and Anton Stach anchor midfield, while Daniel James, Ao Tanaka, and Wilfried Gnonto support striker Joël Piroe. The only real concern? Their record away at Arsenal isn’t good at all.
Likely Lineups
Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Ødegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyökeres, Martinelli.
Leeds (4-2-3-1): Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Stach; James, Tanaka, Gnonto; Piroe.
Here’s what I think… this game has goals written all over it. Arsenal are at home, they’ve scored in every game this season, and their attack looks ruthless. Leeds, though, are no pushovers. Six straight wins, scoring 16 in that run, tells you they’ll have their moments.
But here’s the catch – Leeds haven’t beaten Arsenal in the league since way back in 2003. That’s 22 years without a league win over the Gunners. At the Emirates, it’s been especially brutal.
So, betting angles worth a look:
I can’t see Arsenal slipping up here. They’ll dominate the ball, keep Leeds pinned back, and create chance after chance. Leeds have the pace on the counter – James and Gnonto especially – but over 90 minutes, Arsenal’s quality should show.
Match Prediction: Arsenal to win. Bet with bet365.
I’m leaning towards a 3-1 Arsenal win. Leeds will get a goal – they’ve been scoring for fun – but Arsenal have too much firepower at home.
Correct Score Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Leeds. Bet with bet365.
The numbers point one way: goals. Arsenal and Leeds have both been scoring freely. Their last six head-to-heads produced 22 goals – that’s an average of 3.67 per game.
Over 2.5 goals feels safe, but if you want bigger odds, over 3.5 goals is worth a shot.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
