Arsenal are aiming to make it back-to-back victories from their opening two Premier League matches when they host newly-promoted Leeds United on Saturday.
The Gunners were fortunate to come away with all three points from their opener but found a route to victory against Manchester United. Altay Bayındır’s gaffe handed them an early goal and they just about weathered the subsequent storm to escape with a 1–0 win.
Mikel Arteta will be expecting a far more dominant performance against Leeds this weekend, with the Arsenal manager demanding an improved attacking display to please the home supporters inside the Emirates Stadium. All eyes will be on Viktor Gyökeres after his disappointing debut, but Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard must also produce more against the Whites.
Leeds have an awful record against Arsenal—they have lost 12 of their last 14 meetings with the north Londoners—but enter Saturday’s clash with optimism after their opening victory against Everton. Lukas Nmecha’s late penalty secured a narrow but deserved 1–0 win over the Toffees, and Daniel Farke will be desperate for his side to upset the odds at the Emirates.
Here is’s guide to the clash.
