Premier League – Leeds United vs Arsenal: Betting Preview

Arsenal aim to make it three wins in a row for Saturday’s trip to Leeds United in the Premier League.

The Gunners are up in fourth-place in the Premier League table following back-to-back victories over Southampton and West Ham. That said, their away record is far from desirable. They’ve won just twice from eight games on the road this season, losing five times in the process.

Leeds, though, are not exactly flying high at the moment. The Whites enter the clash off the back of a humiliating 7-0 defeat to Manchester City. Can they bounce back in such a short amount of time? Only time will tell.

Facts and figures for Leeds vs Arsenal in Premier League.

Current form — Leeds v. Arsenal

The Whites in serious trouble

Only a single point prevents Leeds from having nothing to show for their previous 3 games. They claimed a 2-2 draw against Brentford, before getting trounced 3-2 against Chelsea. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Manchester City ran out 7-0 winners.

The Gunners to pick up the pieces

Arsenal look back on form given their last 3 matches with 6 points to show from their efforts. Against Everton, they were left empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Southampton in a 3-0 win. They followed that up with a 2-0 win against West Ham in their most recent outing.

How do the bookies view it?

Given Leeds’ growing injury list and their current run of form, the bookmakers feel home advantage may not be enough. The best price for the hosts to win on this list lies with Betfair at 4.00. A draw pays out at 4.00 with Unibet, while Mr. Green is offering odds of 2.07 for Arsenal to take all 3 points at Elland Road.
