Arsenal vs Leeds United Prediction

Arsenal have shown tremendous improvement under Mikel Arteta but will still have issues to resolve in the coming weeks. The Gunners put in a shift against West Ham United last week and will need a fair share of resolve against desperate opponents.

With Everton hot on their heels, Leeds United face an imminent relegation threat and cannot afford to slip up in this fixture. Arsenal are the better team on paper, however, and hold the upper hand this weekend.
