Premier League predictions for Arsenal vs Leeds
My Arsenal vs Leeds best bet: Anton Stach to get booked (+333 at bet365)
Leeds were excellent against Everton in their 1-0 victory on Monday, but the visitors played their part in that with an abject performance. Now it’s Leeds who are the road team, and this game against Arsenal is likely going to be one of their toughest trips this season. Daniel Farke got terrible news that midfield lynchpin Ethan Ampadu is out injured until after the international break. That is going to put the midfield under real strain in a game that’ll see them chasing the ball often.
Anton Stach made his Leeds debut last week after arriving from Hoffenheim, and the 26-year-old performed brilliantly, ranking second in the team for passes, taking the most shots, and looking dangerous. He also gave up a foul, something to keep in mind against the far superior Arsenal this Saturday. He’s not a dirty player at all, but still picked up eight yellow cards in 30 Bundesliga games last season and will struggle in this game, which will be a huge test for him.
Arsenal vs Leeds same-game parlay (SGP)
Anton Stach to be booked
Leeds Under 0.5 goals
Viktor Gyokeres to score
It was notable that despite playing well against Everton and having a huge 21 shots, they managed just three on target. Arsenal kept a clean sheet in their win over Man Utd and had the Premier League’s best defense last season, so expect another clean sheet against a Leeds attack that isn’t clinical.
To wrap up this SGP, we’re also backing Arsenal’s new striker Viktor Gyokeres to score. He didn’t look great in his debut, but this is a player who scored a staggering 54 goals for Sporting Lisbon and Sweden last season. That shows real quality, and the 27-year-old will continue working hard and finding dangerous positions until he’s rewarded with a goal.
