Arsenal vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips (23 August)

In search of a title of Premier League since the epic of the invincibles in 2004, Arsenal flirts again with the crown in recent years. Vice-champions behind Manchester City in 2023 and 2024, the Gunners then gave in to the superiority of Liverpool last season. They still took 2nd place in the ranking, this time with 10 lengths behind the Reds, and leave with the ambition to target the coronation. The work accomplished by Mikel Arteta necessarily arouses optimism, but it must now be made up. In the Champions League, the Londoners also signed a beautiful route to the semi-finals, stopped by PSG. In summer preparation, they started well with successes against Milan 1-0 and Newcastle 3-2, before losing against Tottenham 1-0 and Villarreal 2-3. They finished summer with a wide success during their Emirates Cup, against Bilbao 3-0. For the opening of the championship, Arsenal suffered but imposed itself on the lawn of Manchester United 0-1.

Premier League releasing in 2023, Leeds then narrowly failed in his attempted ascent the following year before reaching his goal in the past season. Daniel Farke's players made an impressive course to win the title of Championship. They obtained the direct climb without trembling 10 points ahead of the 3rd but had to fight for the first place equality with Burnley, decreed unlike goals. The team offered attractive football and finished with the best attack in the championship, quite largely. The promoted will obviously target the maintenance this season, but the signals sent during summer preparation are very encouraging. Opposed to large displacements, the Peacocks hung three draws: against Manchester United 0-0, Villarreal 1-1 and Milan 1-1. This dynamic was confirmed from J1, with an inaugural victory against Everton 1-0. 

Very disappointing last season, the Sterling striker was not kept by Arsenal. In addition, the defender often injured Tomiyasu (without club) was released, as was the Partey (Villarreal) and Jorginho (Flamengo) circles. The workforce of the Gunners has, on the other hand, been reinforced thanks to the arrivals of goalkeeper Kepa (Chelsea), the lateral Mosquera (Valence), the Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) and Norgaard (Brentford) circles, as well as the Madueke (Chelsea) winger and the Gyokeres (Sporting). The winger Saka (6 goals and 10 PL passes last season) should still play a key role this season, as is the middle Rice and the Odegaard playmaker (3 goals and 8 PL passes). In defense, Saliba and Gabriel form a very complementary hinge. The long -term injured man Gabriel Jesus and the recruit Norgaard were joined to the infirmary by the German international Havertz (9 goals and 3 passes in PL) and by the titular but fragile side Ben White. The only goal against United was scored from the start by Calafiori on Cornet. I have lent outside of Leeds last season, the lateral Kristensen has definitely joined Frankfurt this summer. We will also note the departures of the defenders Junior Firpo (Real Betis) and Wöber (Werder Bremen), of the young talent Joseph Mateo (International Spanish Hopes), the key winger Solomon (end of the loan, author of 10 goals and 13 assists in championship) as well as the experienced environment Josuha Guilavogui (ex-international French, now free). In addition, veterans byram and Rothwell will not continue the adventure, at 36 and 30 years old, despite good performances during the last financial year.

Leeds, on the other hand, invested in order to strengthen himself in the face of the requirements of the Premier League. Thus landed the Lyonnais goalkeeper Perri, the defenders Bijol (Udinese), Bernauw (Wolfsburg) and Gudmundsson (Lille), the Stach (Hoffenheim) and Longstaff (Newcastle) circles, without forgetting the attackers Lukas Nmecha (Wolfsbourg) and Calvert-Lewin (Everton). In goals, the recruit Lucas Perri should supplant French Meslier. Dutch striker Piroe finished top scorer in the championship last year with 19 achievements and 7 assists. The James (12 goals and 9 championship), GNONTO (9 goals and 6 championship) and Aaronson (9 championship) executives are still there, just like the Internationals Ampadu and Tanaka in the middle. Finally, it was the Supersub Nmecha who offered the victory against Everton in J1 on penalty. The probable compositions for Arsenal - Leeds: Arsenal: Raya - Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, White - Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard - Martinelli, Gyokeres, Saka.leeds: Perri - Bogle, Rodon, Strujk GUDMUNSSON - STACH, AMPADI - JAMES, TANAKA, GNONTO - PIROE.
