Arsenal vs Leeds Score Prediction

It’s going to be very tough to gauge how the players feel heading into this fixture. With Liverpool hosting Tottenham the night before, it could be a situation where they know a win could move them five points clear, four points clear, or just maintain the two point advantage.

The pressure is immense for all involved from the north London clubs but as hard as it may be, they can only impact what they produce against a side scrapping for their lives.

To assume this will be an easy game on account of Leeds’ position in the table is a mindset nobody should be adopting.

Dealing with significant injuries, one thing that is for sure is that Leeds will not set themselves up in anything remotely similar to when these two sides met back in December. While Jsse Marsch’s side still like to attack the opposition there is considerably more pragmatism to how they set up now.

Yet they need points, and fast.

They will have to come on to Arsenal and if they do – albeit without the previous man marking system – Arteta’s side will be able to play through them which they most effective at. Pound for pound they are stronger in every position and with the home advantage, especially if Spurs lose the night before, they should have enough.

However, there must be significant improvements from the previous matches. Without doubt.

Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Leeds
