Premier League champions Arsenal return to action following the international break when they host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on October 10.

Gunners Aiming to Bounce Back from Embarrassing Loss

Mikel Arteta has had nearly three weeks to dwell on one of the worst defeats that he has suffered as Arsenal’s boss, as the Gunners were beaten 3-0 by Brighton before the international break.

Despite the loss, Arsenal have won six of their seven this season, keeping clean sheets in three of five in the EPL. Bukayo Saka has been in reliable form during the international break, scoring twice in three starts for England.

Declan Rice should be fit enough to start after pulling out of national team duty. However, Kai Havertz, Ezri Konsa, William Saliba, and Christos Tzolis are all likely to miss out on Saturday.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Leeds (4-2-3-1): Raya; Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Saka, Ødegaard, Eze; Gyokeres

Leeds Enjoying Excellent Start to the New Season

Daniel Farke’s Leeds United could be an interesting European contender in the Premier League this season. The Whites have made an unbeaten start to the new league campaign, picking up nine points to sit fifth in the standings.

Most impressive has been their defensive record, as Leeds have allowed no more than one goal in any fixture this term. The team have also shown their attacking quality, only failing to score once. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has netted three times in as many league appearances for the club.

Tarik Muharemović has been a key reason for the club’s strong defensive record. Harry Wilson is doubtful this week, while Joe Rodon is out until November.

Leeds predicted lineup vs Arsenal (3-5-2): Trafford; Muharemović, Justin, Elvedi; Bogle, Stach, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Calvert-Lewin, Okafor

Arsenal vs Leeds Prediction

Key stats:

  • Arsenal have won 14 of their last 17 home matches against Leeds.
  • The Gunners have recorded wins in 17 of their previous 21 at the Emirates Stadium.
  • Leeds have failed to keep clean sheets in three of their last four in the league.

Despite bringing reliable form into this fixture, Leeds may struggle to maintain their unbeaten run at the Emirates. Arsenal have made their home stadium a fortress since the start of last season, unable to win four of their last 21, which includes back-to-back victories in 2026-27.

The Gunners have dominated home matches against the Whites, with no victories in just three of the previous 17. Leeds could be vulnerable, having only kept one clean sheet in four EPL clashes.
