Leeds vs Arsenal Score Prediction

It’s tough to look past the injuries that are plaguing Leeds, and, y’know, the fact they’ve just come off the back of a hideous defeat in Manchester. The fact it was only seven is remarkable.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are a top four team! Sort of, not really, but technically yes.

Memories of last season’s Nicolas Pepe headbutt fiasco, where the side somehow clung on for a point despite Leeds hitting the post 17 times and Bernd Leno making equal that in saves, will spring to mind but this is two totally different teams.

Bielsa’s side are injury ravaged and confidence banished. They are a shadow of their former selves and each week their bench is made up of academy kids with next to no top-flight experience. With the trajectories of both teams, this is a game that Arsenal should walk.

Then again, Arsenal love to hand out gifts. Everton are an atrocious side, Manchester United were, and both got the win they needed. How kind. Coming off a drubbing, it would be the epitome of Arsenal if were they to somehow contrive to lose this match.

It’s a good thing they won’t then, right? Let’s get sucked into the hype with this one even if it’s extremely foolish to ignore the youthful inconsistency of this team.

Score Prediction: Leeds 1-3 Arsenal
