Leeds vs Arsenal Free Betting Tips – Premier League
Leeds are currently 15th in the Premier League but are already 7 units ahead of the relegation zone. Marcelo Bielsa’s men have started their championship very well but they have been appearing less consistent for some time, despite a quality of play that has not been questioned. They have indeed imposed themselves only once during the last 5 days, for 3 defeats and 1 draw. Leeds remains on 2 heavy losses conceded against Leicester (1-4) and Crystal Palace just before the international cut (4-1).
In line with its sluggish last season, Arsenal is showing irregularity for the moment. 11th in the Premier League, the London team has a record of 4 wins and 4 defeats. Eager to find the Big 4, the Gunners are not yet off the hook but they must now string together good results. Mikel Arteta’s men have lost 3 of their last 4 league games. After bringing back a precious success from Manchester United (0-1), they fell heavily, at home, against Aston Villa just before the truce (0-3). In the Europa League, Arsenal trustees 1st place in their group with 3 successes gleaned in as many matches.
The workforce for Leeds vs Arsenal
5 elements are missing from Leeds this weekend: they are the important Spanish recruits Rodrygo (ill) and Llorente, the English international Philips and substitutes Berardi and Forshaw (injured). Excellent since the start of the season, Patrick Bamford has already scored 7 goals. Carried on the attack, the men of Bielsa are on the other hand friable behind (worst defence of the championship with 17 goals conceded).
The Arsenal coach has to contend with the defections of injured substitutes Chambers, Pablo Mari, Nelson and Martinelli, while important midfielder Elneny is also absent due to his positive covid test. Despite the no match made just before the break, the attacking trio made up of Willian, Aubameyang and Lacazette could be renewed. Note that the German playmaker Ozil is still dismissed by Arteta.
