Leeds take on the visitors Arsenal in the round 11 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, October 16th at Eland Road (Leeds).
Leeds failed a win for a very long time. The Peacocks under Marcelo Bielsa finally returned back in the Premier League. And they even spent a powerful 1st season with the Argentine mentor after leaving the Championship. But then all the talent and experience of the "Loco" did not help in season 2021/2022. Yes, many did not like the management's decision to part with him. But in the tournament, sports plan, it helped. Jesse Marsh was able to win the fight for survival. And then, despite a major roster upgrade, the Whites were able to start off great in the new season: they defeated Wolverhampton and even Chelsea (3-0!), took a draw with Southampton. But then home draws (with Everton and Aston Villa) alternate with away defeats (Brighton, Brentford and Crystal Palace).

Arsenal deserve flattering reviews. The Gunners disappointed so many times (including last season, blowing away in the spring and missing out on the 4th place), that their frisky start was perceived quite skeptically. Especially after Mikel Arteta's men started the autumn with a 1-3 defeat against Manchester United. But this misfire remains the only one in the current draw. After that there was a win, 3-0, over Brentford. And in October it turned out to confidently deal with direct competitors. First they won 3-1 in the North London Derby with Tottenham. And then, on October 9, they managed to shoot down Liverpool. The heroes were Saka (double, including the decisive goal from the penalty spot) and Martinelli (a goal already in the 1st minute and an assist to Bukayo). But behind them is Manchester City, who wait for any misfire of an unexpected leader.
Leeds last won a head-to-head in 2003. Recently, since 2020, Arsenal have had 5 wins with only one draw. Leeds now looks frankly inconvincing. And London's Arsenal have enough motivation to stay top of the table. We recommend betting that the Gunners will win with a handicap of "-1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -1.0 handicap.
