Arsenal vs Leeds United Picks

Arsenal may be in the middle of an injury crisis, but they are still the Premier League champions, and that for a reason. Mikel Arteta’s team head into this game on the back of a loss to Brighton and will expect to bounce back.

For Leeds United, there season has been built on them being hard to beat. The signing of James Trafford in net has help the side become more robust. They will head to London hoping to hold off the Gunners and whilst it may stay close, I think Arsenal steal this one at home.

Other markets include Viktor Gyokeres to score, James Trafford to make two or more saves and Noni Madueke to have two or more shots on target.
