Arsenal hold the historical advantage
Arsenal and Leeds United have met 129 times, according to Transfermarkt data. Arsenal have won 55 of those matches, compared with 41 victories for Leeds, while 33 encounters have ended in draws.
The Gunners have scored 211 goals in the fixture, while Leeds have found the net 159 times.
Leeds’ most recent victory over Arsenal came on 4 May 2003. Arsenal have not lost to the Peacocks since then.
Contrasting starts to the season
Arsenal had won four of their first five Premier League matches before Brighton ended that run with a 3-0 win immediately before the international break. Mikel Arteta’s side remain second in the table and have been helped by a productive attack and a squad containing considerable depth and talent.
Leeds, meanwhile, have made an unbeaten return to the division, recording two wins and three draws from their opening five league games. Their momentum was checked by a heavy 6-3 cup defeat by Chelsea, but they responded with a 4-1 victory over Newcastle.
That result has helped keep Leeds in fifth place, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s finishing has provided an important source of goals for the Peacocks.
Arsenal have dominated the recent meetings at home, while Leeds have been defensively resilient but less effective in front of goal away from home. Although Leeds remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season, Africafoot’s forecast is for Arsenal to claim a 3-1 victory, with home advantage at the Emirates Stadium expected to prove significant.
Published 1xbet odds list Arsenal as 1.32 to win, with the draw priced at 4.60 and a Leeds United victory at 7.30.
