Arsenal vs Leeds Preview
Recent results
After winning seven straight matches across all competitions, Arsenal suffered a shock 3-0 loss at Brighton before the break. The performance will have seriously angered Arteta, and a quick response demanded by the Gunners boss. A return to the Emirates should help, with Arsenal beating Coventry (3-0) and Chelsea (2-1) in their only two home encounters of the season thus far.
Leeds drew 0-0 at home with Crystal Palace in their last outing, a disappointing result which followed an awesome 4-1 victory over Newcastle at Elland Road. The Whites’ previous two games on the road saw them draw 1-1 at Brighton in the Premier League and suffer a 6-3 defeat to Chelsea in the EFL Cup.
Head-to-head record
Arsenal have a fabulous recent record against Leeds, the Gunners winning each of the last eight matches across all competitions – including the previous seven top-flight encounters.
Last season, Arteta’s side followed up a 5-0 victory at the Emirates with a 4-0 success at Elland Road, a true level of dominance over Farke’s troops.
Amazingly, you have to go back to May 2003 for the last time Leeds won vs Arsenal!
Team news
William Saliba is still a long-term absentee for Arsenal, while Cristhian Mosquera, Ben White and Declan Rice remain doubts. Ezri Konsa, Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis picked up injuries on international duty, and could therefore miss out here.
Mateo Joseph and Joe Rodon are ruled out from a Leeds perspective, while Harry Wilson is a doubt after the attacker pulled out of Wales’ squad.
Arsenal vs Leeds Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Arsenal are big favourites to claim the win here at a price of 1.34. A victory for Leeds is at long odds of 7.70, while the draw is 4.90.
Arsenal vs Leeds Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Viktor Gyokeres @ 2.09
Gyokeres arrives back at Arsenal full of confidence after scoring in all four of Sweden’s Nations League games. It has been a tough start to the campaign for the striker, but Havertz’s injury and likely absence presents him with an opportunity to shine against an opponent he thrived against last season. Gyokeres scored twice in Arsenal’s 5-0 victory over Leeds at the Emirates, so backing the forward to carry his international form to the Premier League stage could be a wise pre-match move.
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.98
Arsenal conceded five goals in the last two matches, with the thrashing at the hands of Brighton a real shock given the team’s usual defensive strength. Saliba’s absence is perhaps being felt, while Konsa’s fitness issues could also pose a bit of a problem here – especially with Dominic Calvert-Lewin in great nick ahead of kick-off. Leeds have also scored on three of their last four top-flight visits to the Emirates, with last season’s thrashing being the only exception. A price just below evens is therefore very tempting indeed.
Bet Builder: Arsenal to win, both teams to score & Viktor Gyokeres to score anytime @ 4.60
And combining the above two tips with the likelihood of another Arsenal win represents a fantastic Bet Builder creation. The Gunners are on a six-match winning streak at the Emirates across all competitions.
