Arsenal come into the game having beat Crystal Palace 4-1 at home in the Premier League prior to the international break. It was a game Arsenal were expected to win against a struggling Crystal Palace team who were without a manager and they made no mistake.
The Gunners opened the scoring in the 28th minute and added a second before half time. Arsenal scored twice in the second half, along with a consolation goal for the visitors.
The win over Crystal Palace means Arsenal have won 6 of their 8 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
Тhe 2 matches Arsenal failed to win came in the Europa League and they were knocked out of the competition by Sporting Club, drawing the away and home legs before losing via penalties.
In terms of the Premier League, Arsenal have won each of their last 6 games. There have been victories over Everton, Bournemouth, and Crystal Palace at home plus Aston Villa, Leicester City, and Fulham away.
Trends show Arsenal have scored 3 or more goals in each of their last three home league games.
Leeds United travel to London on the back of a big 4-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers before the internationals. Leeds United found themselves 3-0 up after 62 minutes but Wolves scored 2 goals to get back into the match.
Leeds United scored a fourth goal at the end of the game to secure maximum points and Wolves had two players sent off.
The win over Wolves was the first victory in 4 matches for Leeds United. They lost 1-0 away to Chelsea in the Premier League plus suffered a 2-0 defeat at Fulham in the FA Cup. Leeds United picked up a point thanks to a 2-2 draw at home with Brighton in the Premier League.
Away form in the Premier League shows Leeds United have won only 1 of their last 8 matches. They have lost 4 of their last 6 away league fixtures and have failed to score a goal in 3 of their last 5 Premier League games on the road.
Team news and Arsenal are expected to be without the injured quartet of William Saliba, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Edward Nketiah, and Mohamed Elneny.
Leeds United also have four players on the treatment table, with Wilfried Gnonto, Tyler Adams, Adam Forshaw, and Stuart Dallas likely to miss out.
This should be a comfortable return to Premier League action for Arsenal. We expect the hosts to win this game without too much difficulty and they could score up to 3 goals and keep a keep a clean sheet on their way to victory.
