Arsenal vs Leeds on Saturday pits the Premier League champions, still smarting from Brighton, against one of the division's stubborn unbeaten sides. It is a proper test for both.
Arsenal sit second with 12 points, but their perfect start ended with a 3-0 defeat at Brighton before the international break. Expect a sharp response at the Emirates.
Leeds arrive as one of just five sides in the division yet to lose. Their back line has shipped only three goals, a share of the league's best defensive record.
History sides firmly with the hosts. Arsenal have won their last 8 matches against Leeds in all competitions, and that run is where any Arsenal vs Leeds prediction starts.
Arsenal vs Leeds Form
Arsenal have claimed seven wins from their last 10 fixtures against all opponents, with the Brighton reverse their first league setback of the season. Bukayo Saka is the man to watch, finding the net in 3 of his last 5 Premier League outings, and attacking down the right remains the Gunners' sharpest weapon.
Leeds have four wins from their last 10 fixtures against all opponents, yet they are awkward to beat. They are undefeated in 13 of their last 14 Premier League outings. Dominic Calvert-Lewin keeps testing goalkeepers up front, while Ethan Ampadu anchors an engine room that is good at stealing the ball.

Arsenal vs Leeds Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Arsenal win, and Leeds go home without a goal. The Arsenal vs Leeds betting odds make the hosts 2/5 with William Hill, and the projections give Leeds just 0.81 expected goals. A Brighton hangover cannot be ruled out, but Arsenal's wide attacking against a Leeds side that struggles to defend the flanks is a mismatch, and the Gunners protect a lead well.
Best Bets
Dominic Calvert-Lewin Over 0.5 in the Player Tackles market. The Leeds striker is expected to start and do defensive work against a possession-heavy Arsenal. Leeds will spend long spells without the ball, so even their centre-forward will be asked to get stuck in, and our projections rate this at 58.03%, well above what the price implies. He has also been carded in 2 of his last 3 Premier League outings, so he is no passenger off the ball.
Tarik Muharemovic Over 1.5 in the Player Fouls market. The Leeds centre-back is likely to be busy defending against Arsenal's attack. Of our Arsenal vs Leeds best bets, this is the standout value play, with our projections rating it at 35.39%. Avoiding fouls in dangerous areas is a listed Leeds weakness, and with Arsenal projected for 2.02 expected goals, Muharemovic should be kept very busy at the back.
Arsenal vs Leeds Bet Builder
Our Arsenal vs Leeds bet builder tips combine an Arsenal win, Viktor Gyökeres to score anytime, No in Both Teams To Score and Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card.
Arsenal have been winning at both half-time and full-time in their last 6 matches against Leeds in all competitions. That level of control makes the home win the natural foundation.
With Kai Havertz doubtful, Gyökeres could make his first Premier League start of the season. A fresh centre-forward against a stubborn back three is Arsenal's clearest focal point.
Protecting the lead and defending set pieces are both Arsenal strengths, which blunts a Leeds side that relies on dead balls. No in Both Teams To Score is 8/11 with AK Bets.
Leeds have picked up two or more cards against Arsenal on six occasions in their past eight meetings in the Premier League. Ampadu, an ever-present in midfield, will be doing the dirty work all afternoon.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 14/1 and is as short as 39/4 elsewhere.

Arsenal vs Leeds Talking Points
Mikel Arteta has just signed a contract extension until 2030, calling last season's title success "only the beginning of what we can achieve together". The first job is a response to Brighton, and Daniel Farke knows it, describing facing Arsenal straight after their defeat as the "worst possible timing" while still seeing an opportunity to test his side's progress. The tactical battle is simple enough. Attacking down the wings is Arsenal's top-rated strength, and defending wide attacks is a Leeds weakness. The visitors' best route back is from dead balls, with direct free kicks a real strength, but Arsenal defend set pieces well. Leeds will need to be direct and make it messy, because a tidy contest on the flanks suits the champions.
