Arsenal and Leeds United will face each other in the Premier League this weekend. The match at the Emirates Stadium in North London is slated to kick off at 4:30pm UK time on Sunday and promises to be a cracking game of football.
Arsenal
Arsenal will head into the match against Leeds on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa away from home at Villa Park in the Premier League. It followed a 2-1 loss at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium in the league.
The Gunners are 11th in the Premier League table at the moment with 31 points from 23 matches. The former English champions are as many as nine points behind fourth-placed Liverpool and still have a chance of finishing in the Champions League places.
Team News:
Thomas Partey could be available for the match for Arsenal, as there is a chance that the Ghana international defensive midfielder could recover from a thigh injury. Left-back Kieran Tierney could also make his comeback.
Leeds United
Leeds United are 10th in the Premier League table at the moment with 32 points from 22 matches. Marcelo Bielsa’s side won automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of last season, and the West Yorkshire club have taken the top flight of English football by storm.
The Whites will head into the match against Arsenal on the back of a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace at Elland Road in the league. It followed a 2-1 loss at the hands of Everton at home in the league.
Team News:
Kalvin Phillips suffered an injury against Leeds and could miss out against Arsenal.
Key Factors to Consider
- Arsenal have scored 27 goals in 23 Premier League matches this season.
- Leeds United have scored 38 goals in 22 Premier League matches this season.
- Arsenal have conceded 23 goals in 23 Premier League games this campaign.
- Leeds United have conceded 38 goals in 22 Premier League games this campaign.
- Leeds United and Arsenal played out a goalless draw at Elland Road in November.
Conclusion
Arsenal are not having the best of times, while Leeds are doing much better than expected. The problem with Bielsa’s side is that they are inconsistent, and there is every chance that they will struggle to score goals or concede a bad one. A draw at the Emirates Stadium could be the final outcome.
