Mikel Arteta's team is on the 4th line in the standings with 29 points. Arsenal has nine victories, two draws, and six victories after 17 games. After a streak of three away losses in a row, the Gunners partially redeemed themselves in front of their fans in home matches. First, they hammered Southampton (3-0), and on December 15, they surpassed their direct competitor for a place in the Champions League zone, West Ham (2-0). The success in the London derby was ensured by the goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe.
In the last championship, Arsenal earned four points in the matches against Leeds due to an away draw (0-0) and a home victory (4-2). In the current season, the opponents managed to cross paths in the 4th round of the League Cup in London on October 26. The Gunners achieved success thanks to goals from Calum Chambers and Edward Nketiah. The sensitive defeat to the Citizens should have hit the Peacocks' pride, and they will try to make amends for the failure in Manchester in the home match against Arsenal. There are prerequisites for this: the Gunners played poorly on foreign pitches and suffered five defeats in eight away games. In the last three away matches, Arteta's men did not score even one point. Leeds regularly earns points at Elland Road. Its home unbeaten run in the Premier League lasts five matches. Only Liverpool (0-3) and West Ham (1-2) have taken away three points from Leeds in the current season.
Prediction for the match: Leeds to win with +0.5 handicap
