Leeds United vs Arsenal

What a start it has been for Mikel Arteta's side. Sitting top of the Premier League table after beating Tottenham and Liverpool in consecutive weeks, many are ...

But will they take it? The fixture squeeze is happening right now, and this is where Arsenal can distance themselves from the chasing pack. Leeds aren’t in the best form now, but can Arsenal take advantage?

Mikel Arteta's side have been in electric form this season and head in to the game top of the table.

Local radio stations will provide coverage of the game on commentary, whilst the Sky Sports game of Aston Villa vs Chelsea will also keep viewers up to date of all key events happening in other games. Kick off at Elland Road between Leeds United and Arsenal is set to kick off at 2pm on Sunday, October 16. Arsenal are set to travel to Yorkshire as they take on Leeds United in the Premier League at Elland Road this weekend.

Mikel Arteta's high-flying Gunners travel to Yorkshire to take on Leeds United this Sunday at 2PM.

The winger, a £30 million summer signing from RB Salzburg, has shown his agility and quick feet on several occasions, notably last weekend at [Selhurst Park](https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2022/08/06/arsenal/1119035-crystal-palace-0-2-arsenal-marc-guehi-own-goal-seals-gunners-victory.html) where he created the opening goal by dancing past five challenges before curling a sublime effort on to the post. [Archie Gray](https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2022/07/07/1116343-leeds-in-control-jesse-marschs-post-blackpool-quotes.html) is nearing a return but this weekend comes too soon for him. He currently ranks in the top 20 percentile among all midfielders in Europe for assists, shot-creating actions and progressive passes. That goal, in front of a joyous Emirates crowd, completed a remarkable redemption arc for Xhaka. The Colombian has been every bit as impressive so far this season, scoring twice from just three starts, and Aaronson will surely be happy there is someone else for him to share the attention with. Arteta has got players in form all over the pitch, and with their fixture list between now and the start of the [World Cup](https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2022/06/16/arsenal/1114758-arsenals-202223-premier-league-fixtures-released.html) looking pretty appealing, he must be hopeful of making it to the extended break with his team still on top.

Leeds United take on Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday looking to scupper the Gunners' early season form while also getting back to positive ways.

[Liam Cooper’s](https://www.leedsallover.com/tag/liam-cooper/) return is vital in terms of the morale and mentality of this squad, but he looked off the pace against Palace. [Rodrigo](https://www.leedsallover.com/tag/rodrigo-moreno/) was very ineffective against Palace while playing in the number 10 role, even if he was a key part of how well Leeds pressed in the early stages.

Arteta has been clever with how he's rotated the side in recent weeks. Arteta isn't going to be changing formation anytime soon but he could switch personnel. A win over Leeds will mean seven straight in all competitions for the Gunners who are going from strength to strength at the moment. With Zinchenko nursing a muscle injury, Arsenal probably won't want to take any more risks or rush him back. And in more positive news, Arteta's side are nearly back to full strength. The latest of those wins came against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday evening.

Premier League pundits Chris Sutton, Paul Merson and Lewis Jones believe Leeds United are headed for defeat on Sunday when they take on Arsenal at Elland ...

"Arsenal are without question a team capable of exploiting that, yet, as Leeds showed in their 3-0 win against Chelsea earlier this season, their attacking patterns do lead to big chances being created. "Arsenal are a team where everyone is playing to best of his ability. "His team are playing with a clear identity now. Leeds will jump out of the blocks at a hundred miles an hour, but Arsenal will eventually take over and rip them to shreds." I'd be shocked if they don't win this weekend, and I haven't had that feeling in several years. Over the years, you just wouldn't know if they'd win this match. Arsenal head into the contest top of the table after beating Liverpool last weekend. Prediction: Leeds United 2-4 Arsenal Prediction: Leeds United 0-3 Arsenal "If Leeds are as aggressive as I think they will be, there will be plenty of space for Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka to run in behind, and plenty of chances for Gabriel Jesus too. Prediction: Leeds United 1-3 Arsenal And writing in their Premier League prediction columns, messers Sutton, Merson and Jones all believe Leeds will not have enough to match Arsenal when they host the Gunners on Sunday afternoon.

This year you can make a case that all six additions have already proved their worth. Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira are excellent young signings who can play now ...

And all of the players have even more of an understanding of what Arteta wants and experience playing together. If Arsenal’s defence remains as solid as they have been so far and keeps Leeds off the board in the first 30 minutes I think they will get control of the match. Far too often managers are asked to transform a club and not given the time to implement those changes. While Saliba has walked into the starting XI and looks the part of a well-established Premier League centre-back despite being just 21 - and he’s already scored twice! Given existing contracts and varying budget levels, most clubs and managers need at least two or three windows to begin to build toward a new iteration. Matt Turner is a decent pickup for the backup keeper role.

The only question mark in the Arsenal lineup is whether Kieran Tierney or Takehiro Tomiyasu will get the start at left back. That Tierney started and played ...

Mohamed Elneny will also be out a while, back in September Arteta said that he expected the midfielder to be out for a few months. It’s fortunate that Arsenal had the midweek Europa League match against Bodø/Glimt to refocus because coming off the massive win against [Liverpool](https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/), the Gunners might have overlooked their next opponents. [Leeds United](https://throughitalltogether.sbnation.com), looking to maintain their position atop the Premier League table. That Tierney started and played most of the game against Bodø suggests that Tomiyasu will get the nod, but the conventional wisdom was the Tomiyasu was preferred against Liverpool because of his ability to shut down opposing attackers. The Gunners have won 11 of 12 matches in all competitions this season, with the only slip coming away to [Manchester United](https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com) last month. The only question mark in the Arsenal lineup is whether Kieran Tierney or Takehiro Tomiyasu will get the start at left back.

Premier League leaders Arsenal will look to make it nine wins out of 10 against Leeds United on Sunday. Jesse Marsch's side have not won since August.

— Arteta's midfield options are still lacking Emile Smith Rowe (groin) and Mohamed Elneny (hamstring). The fact Kieran Tierney started Thursday's game against Bodo/Glimt adds weight to that theory. Junior Firpo is expected to be back in contention for Leeds after sitting out the Crystal Palace match with a minor injury, where Pascal Struijk started and opened the scoring from left-back. Sun, Oct 16 Leeds host Arsenal at Elland Road, UK.

Team news: Jesse Marsch is without Adam Forshaw, Stuart Dallas and Leo Hjelde for Sunday's clash, but he is boosted by the return of Luis Sinisterra from ...

Arsenal travel to Elland Road with the chance to go four points clear at the top with a win over Leeds United.

A win against Leeds would stretch Arsenal’s lead at the top to four points before Manchester City play Jurgen Klopp’s Reds in the same afternoon. Gabriel Jesus’ presence in the starting line-up is a massive boost after he missed the midweek game, although it was always suspected it would be due to rest. Without the chance of a training session, it is for the best this is the case. Brenden Aaronson returns to the middle and Ben White and William Saliba will have to deal with Jack Harrison. Welcome to live coverage of Arsenal's Premier League match against Leeds United at Elland Road. Jesse Marsch has used his Red Bull connections to bring in Brendan Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen and Tyler Adams from Salzburg and Leipzig.

He is shown a red card, but the referee is checking the monitor. The nudge from Bamford is being checked for a foul. Whistles are coming from the away section. Bamford bundles into the Brazilian, who kicks the Englishman in frustration. The introduction of Bamford was immediate, with the striker poking the ball in the net. Leeds United vs Arsenal The home fans were later lifted, however, when Leeds were awarded a penalty for a handball. The Leeds forward was involved again, pushing the Brazilian in the back who kicked out. Kavanagh led the players off the pitch amid a chorus of boos and play did not resume until 2.40pm local time. Strong in the opening 45 minutes, Arsenal hung on in the second. But Leeds, inspired by the half-time introduction of talisman Odegaard and Saka combined on the right edge of the area, and the England winger slammed home an angled finish into the roof of the net.
