Both Arsenal and Leeds achieved narrow 1-0 victories in their opening fixtures. These will surely set an optimistic tone in both camps – in Arsenal’s that this year could be the one in which the team finally lifts the Premier League title, while in Leeds’ that they can avoid relegation.
Arsenal Team News
While close, the Gunners managed to scramble a 0-1 away win at Old Trafford in what was arguably the top game in the first week of the Premier League. Despite being bolstered by several high-quality signings, Arsenal’s output wasn’t all that impressive, even against a Manchester United side that is far from any kind of glory. At this stage, however, Mikel Arteta’s only concern is most likely points – as long as his Arsenal side is all good. He did praise his team’s “resilience”, and we can all agree that it will surely be something that the Gunners will need in buckets if they aim to win silverware.
Leeds United Team News
It was a dream return for Leeds, who managed to nab the 3 points from Everton. A win against a sturdy Everton side, managed by David Moyes, no less, is certainly a commendable feat by a newcomer. Daniel Farke couldn’t have wished for a better start to the season. But he surely knows that just 1 win and a good start won’t cut it. In the long run, consistency will be required, and Farke, being someone who has already been relegated from the Premier League before, is sure to try and drill that into his side. While Leeds enter the game as the clear outsiders against Arsenal, their season surely won’t be defined by the result in the upcoming game.
Head-to-Head-Games
The Gunners have dominated in the H2H with Leeds, with 5 wins across the last 5 encounters between the two. Three of those featured over 2.5 goals, and in four of them, Arsenal themselves have scored at least two goals.

Arsenal vs Leeds United Betting Prediction
For this game, my pick is a win for Arsenal and over 2.5 goals. Mikel Arteta has dominated this fixture and often with big scorelines. Moreover, I am sure that he will want to secure the three points in their first home game of the season and do it in style, to put to rest any doubts about the attacking capabilities of his side.
