Arsenal vs Leeds performance analysis
It can be said that Arsenal does not have the best performance in a 1-0 victory over MU in the Premier League match 2025/26 last weekend. They played not as impressive as the home team, but there was “guardian” David Raya to be able to win all 3 valuable points at Old Trafford.
In addition, the period of running instability, erratic defeat and rookies have not really adapted to the play of coach Mikel Arteta, making the pressure on Arsenal when welcoming Leeds on the Emirates Stadium in this round is relatively large. Well, when under pressure, the Gunners are often confused and unable to play convincingly.
Moreover, Arsenal's home pattern (excluding friendly) is not good at all when they only win 1, draw 2 and lose 2 in the last 5 matches. Meanwhile, Leeds had a perfect start when returning to the Premier League with a late victory over Everton and the rare clean sheet record in this top tournament. This victory followed their terrible form from the previous season with 6 previous wins in the First Class of British 2024/25.
However, in the last 8 marches to Arsenal, they have never won the battle with 7 losses and only 1 draw. Moreover, Arsenal is not Everton. Therefore, the North London Gunners clash is one of the biggest challenges for them in the Premier League this season.
