The current leaders in the Premier League are back in action on Sunday, as they travel to Elland Road to take on Leeds United. Arsenal has been in excellent form throughout the season to this point, and they will be searching for a fourth straight win this weekend.
Premier League Preview
It has been an excellent start to the season for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side. The Gunners sit top of the table after nine rounds of fixtures, and that is a position that very few would have been expecting before a ball was kicked. Arsenal has lost just once in their nine fixtures this term, with their only dropped points coming against Manchester United at Old Trafford last month.
The Gunners have bounced back well since that defeat, as they have won each of their previous three fixtures. Many are beginning to take them much more seriously after their recent league win, as they managed to come out on top against Liverpool. Bukayo Saka scored twice in that win against the Reds, while Gabriel Martinelli also found the net.
The pressure will be building on Jesse Marsch coming into this round of Premier League fixtures, as Leeds are creeping ever closer to the bottom three places in the league standings. They are without a victory in their previous five fixtures, and have lost three times during that period.
Leeds sit three points clear of the drop zone at present, but recent performances are beginning to raise questions. The Whites dropped to defeat in their previous fixture against Crystal Palace, despite taking the early lead through Pascal Strujik. However, Palace hit back very well in that fixture, and scored their winning goal with 14 minutes remaining.
Leeds United vs Arsenal Head to Head
Arsenal is unbeaten against Leeds in the previous nine meetings between the sides in all competitions since 2010. The Gunners have also won three of the four fixtures between the sides since Leeds returned to the Premier League. That includes a 4-1 victory at Elland Road last season.
Leeds United vs Arsenal Prediction
This should be an entertaining fixture in the Premier League on Sunday. Both teams have scored in three of the four league meetings between the sides, while the Gunners look difficult to oppose, given their recent run of form. Therefore, an Arsenal win with both teams to score could be the solid pick.
