Leeds Form & Balance Check
With seven points from their first three games, Leeds United have made an outstanding start to the new Premier League season. Especially the 3-0 against Chelsea on matchday 3 gave hope for a very successful season. However, the team of former Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch was not able to maintain the initial flight of fancy for long. Since the aforementioned home win against Chelsea, the Peacocks have been waiting for a treble. Draws and defeats have alternated since Matchday 4.
Unbeaten at home, winless away
The differences between home and away games are huge so far. At home Leeds United are still unbeaten, the two wins against Wolverhampton and Chelsea were followed by two draws against Everton and Aston Villa. Away from home, on the other hand, the first win is still a long time coming. The draw at Southampton FC was followed by three defeats at Brighton, Brentford and Crystal Palace. The Peacocks will now play at home again against Arsenal. With their own fans behind them, can anything be done against the league leaders?
Leeds facts & analysis
– 9 points from 8 games
– Last lost 1:2 at Crystal Palace
– Still unbeaten at home (2S, 2U)
Arsenal Form & Balance Check
Arsenal FC are still on cloud nine. Even the first defeat of the season at Manchester United has not upset the Gunners. The last three games have all been won by the capital. First the home game against Brentford (3:0), then also the top games against Tottenham (3:1) and Liverpool (3:2). In the Europa League, the current Premier League leaders have yet to make a mark at all.
Patience with Arteta pays off
It is quite impressive how stable the team is performing this season. In recent years, the Gunners have had a good team, but have lacked the necessary consistency. However, patience with coach Mikel Arteta, who was repeatedly criticised last season, has paid off and if Gabriel Jesus & Co. continue to back up their performances so far in the coming weeks and months, it could indeed come down to an exciting title battle between Arsenal FC and Manchester City.
Arsenal Facts & Analysis
– 24 points from 9 games.
– Last won 3:2 against Liverpool
– Won last 6 competitive matches
Predicted line-up – last update on 15 Oct 2022
The hosts could make one change from their last league game. Luis Sinisterra is expected to take Jack Harrison’s place at left-back.
For the Gunners, Emile Smith-Rowe, Mohamed Elneny and Oleksandr Zinchenko are still out. We do not expect any surprises in the starting eleven. We do not expect any changes compared to the last game.
