Leeds vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
Leeds United will be visited by Arsenal on Elland Road. Both teams entered the international break with a disappointing result and want to start the third competition block with fresh courage.
Leeds United:
In the first weeks of this season, there was several praise for Leeds United. That was right, because Marcelo Bielsa’s team surprised friend and foe. For example, Leeds United started their return to the Premier League with a 4-3 defeat at Liverpool and a 4-3 win at Fulham. Sheffield United (0-1) was then also sidelined by Leeds. After that it only started to run less for Bielsa and his team, resulting in the necessary point loss. After eight games, Leeds United’s number of points is ten. As a PhD candidate, Leeds United cannot be dissatisfied with that, but Bielsa might have expected a little more from his team.
On the other hand, we should also not forget that Leeds United do not have such a very good team either. Perhaps the expectations are also too high. This Leeds United doesn’t have as strong a squad as a Tottenham Hotspur or a Chelsea. On the other hand, a classification in the left row should be possible for the club from West Yorkshire. Leeds United’s problem is that it gets a lot of goals against. In no less than four of the eight games, The Whites conceded three or more goals. Then it also becomes very difficult to win matches. This makes it extra fun for the neutral spectator to watch Leeds United, but the Leeds United supporters themselves would rather see their club grab a few more points.
Arsenal:
Arsenal has taken two points more than Leeds United. Just like Leeds United, Arsenal must therefore settle for a place in the right-hand row. The Arsenal supporters are not very satisfied with that. A lot was expected from Arsenal this season, also because Arteta was not doing bad with the North Londoners last season. For the time being, things are not going the way they hope at Arsenal. Fortunately for The Gunners, only eight games have been played and there is still plenty to get. In the last game before the international period it turned out once again that this Arsenal cannot be beaten. In their own Emirates Stadium, Aston Villa managed to book a 0-3 victory over the team of Arteta.
Aston Villa also won 7-2 against Liverpool a few weeks earlier, so it was not that they had to be ashamed at Arsenal. On the other hand: Arsenal must be able to achieve a result with this selection against a club like Aston Villa. It was anything but quiet at Arsenal the past two weeks. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, for example, was stuck with the Gabonese national team at an airport and had to sleep on the floor. There are even rumors that Aubameyang played his last game for Gabon as a result. In addition, there was also an incident between David Luiz and Dani Ceballos during training, as the Brazilian hit his fellow player a bloody nose. It has no consequences for both players: Arteta will just start them on Elland Road on Sunday.
