Arsenal vs Leeds Prediction & Betting tips
Because of catching up in the Premier League – Arsenal are falling back into old patterns after a small form high and have already lost the momentum of an interim winning streak. The Gunners from London are now in eleventh place in the table, eight points behind fifth in the Premier League.
The guests from Leeds should not be underestimated, after all, the newcomer has had a strong season so far. Among other things, Leeds won the away game at home-strong Leicester City just under two weeks ago. If you consider how much power there is in the offensive of the Peacocks, an away coup at the Emirates Stadium of London cannot be ruled out.
Arsenal :
Arsenal as it is alive and well. For years, the Gunners have been described as eternal third in the table, since the departure of coaching legend Arsene Wenger, the situation at the top club from north London has deteriorated even further. For much of the current season, Arsenal was even in the lower half of the Premier League table.
After an intermittent race to catch up, during which the Gunners did not lose seven times in a row, there was recently a return to old times. Neither in the away game against the Wolves nor in the away game against the Villans, the team of head coach Mikel Arteta could not take anything countable.
This means that the gap to the international starting positions has increased again. Arsenal are currently eight points from fifth in the Premier League. Accordingly, there is no room for a point loss in the upcoming home game against Leeds United.
At the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners did not lose five times in a row in the Premier League. Among other things, Arsenal scored points against Manchester United (0-0) and Chelsea (3-1). In the last four home games, the otherwise vulnerable defensive of the Londoners did not concede a single goal, even against Manchester United the clean slate was preserved.
Compared to the staff worries a few weeks ago, the hospital in the run-up to the upcoming home game is manageable. Arteta will only have to do without Partey and Tierney due to injury against the newly promoted Leeds. With Bernd Leno and David Luiz, two suspended players are also returning to the squad.
Leeds :
Those in charge at Leeds United will hardly be able to complain about the current season. As tenth in the table, Leeds stayed away from the relegation places for the entire season. In the second half of the season it is more about reducing the gap to the international starting positions.
Just two weeks ago, the third place from Leicester felt the potential of the promoted team. The Peacocks prevailed against the Füchse 3: 1 and missed the third place in the Premier League the fifth home defeat of the current season.
For the team of head coach Marcelo Bielsa it was the sixth away win this season. Away from home, Leeds United currently have a record of 6-0-5, with an average of four goals per game in away games with Leeds.
In London, Marcelo Bielsa and his team will again rely on the offensive game. After all, the strong attack department of the Peacocks was able to compensate for the defensive weaknesses for large parts of the current season. In the last week, the newcomer remained without conceding for the first time in this calendar year.
When it comes to the latest form curve of the two table neighbors, the Peacocks from Leeds are undoubtedly ahead. In contrast to the Gunners, however, the promoted team will have a few failures on Sunday evening. Eight players are currently on the injured list.
