Match Preview

Leeds made a winning start to the new Premier League campaign, securing an impressive 1-0 victory over Everton last weekend.

The Elland Road encounter looked to be heading for a draw before James Tarkowski handled the ball to concede a penalty late in the game.

Lukas Nmecha stepped up to deliver an ice-cool penalty that settled the contest in their favour.

Farke’s men now face a daunting task as they travel to London to take on Arsenal this weekend.

The Gunners have not lost a game in their previous 14 meetings with Leeds, whose last victory came during the Highbury days in 2003.

Mikel Arteta’s side are coming off a 1-0 win over Manchester United, albeit their performance was far from convincing.

United created better chances but lack of finishing let them down.

Riccardo Calafiori scored the decisive goal in the 13th minute after shaky goalkeeping from Altay Bayindir.

Arsenal vs Leeds United prediction

Arsenal produced an unconvincing display at United but still managed to come away with maximum points. Given their form and the fact they will be playing in front of their home crowd, the Gunners are being regarded as favourites.

However, Leeds also pulled off a brilliant victory against Everton last time, and they are expected to make things difficult for the North Londoners.
