Leeds United may be hovering just above the relegation zone, but their recent form suggests they are far from pushovers. The Whites have lost just one of their last ten Premier League matches, drawing six times in that period, and have steadily climbed the form table.
Historically, this fixture has been one-sided. Leeds have not beaten Arsenal since 2003 and are facing the prospect of an eighth straight defeat against the Gunners. Even so, their resilience in recent months makes them a tricky opponent, particularly at Elland Road.

Arsenal come into this match under pressure after a 3-2 home defeat to Manchester United last weekend. That result extended their league winless run to three games, raising questions about a defence that has begun to show cracks after an outstanding start to the campaign.
The Gunners did respond in midweek with a 3-2 Champions League victory over Kairat, although that came with a rotated squad. Returning to league action, Mikel Arteta’s side will be desperate to reassert control at the top and avoid further dropped points.
MatchPlug Prediction for Leeds United vs Arsenal
Leeds’ recent run suggests they are capable of frustrating even the league’s best sides, while Arsenal’s defensive solidity has dipped in recent weeks. With Leeds drawing frequently and Arsenal conceding more goals than earlier in the season, this matchup has the feel of a game where both sides find the net.
Arsenal still have the quality to take something from Elland Road, but it is unlikely to be straightforward.
