Leeds v Arsenal Match Preview
Premier League leaders Arsenal are on the road as they take their narrow four-point lead to Leeds this weekend.
Last weekend’s stunning 3-2 defeat at home to Manchester United has potentially opened the door for Manchester City and Aston Villa and Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford to drop any more points at Elland Road.
Leeds have never won a Premier League home game against the side starting the day top of the table but Daniel Farke’s side are a solid proposition these days, and have lost just one of their last six games.
Four of those have been draws, so Arteta may be in for a frustrating afternoon in Yorkshire.
Arsenal did make it eight wins from eight in the Champions League league phase in midweek.
“I am very proud of the players and the run that we have had in the first stage of the competition,” Arteta said.
“It is very difficult to win eight games in a row in the Champions League and you can see what has happened with other teams.
“We really need to acknowledge that, but that is it, and now the competition stops. We will have a period of reflection, and then prepare for our next opponents, and go game-by game.”
