Arsenal have finished second in the Premier League for three seasons in a row
Leeds hit the 100-point mark as they won the Championship title last term
Recommended bet: Arsenal to win to nil
Arsenal rode their luck in a 1-0 victory away at Manchester United in their Premier League opener, grinding their way to success, and they will be expected to show their defensive qualities again when Leeds visit the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners lost the shot count 22-9 at Old Trafford, forcing only three efforts on target, yet stood firm to shut out the Red Devils.
Leeds also celebrated their Premier League return with a hard-fought 1-0 success, shutting out Everton at Elland Road, but they are likely to find things much tougher away at one of the expected title challengers.
Daniel Farke’s side have seen a big overhaul in personnel over the summer but they may struggle to match Arsenal, who lost only two of their 19 home league games last season.

Prediction
Arsenal had to withstand long spells of pressure in their opening weekend win over Manchester United and were second best in terms of the shot count, but defensively they shone with goalkeeper David Raya starting this season as he ended the last.
However, at the Emirates against a newly promoted team, Arsenal should be in the ascendancy and it is hard to see how Leeds can find a way through the Gunners’ rock-solid defence.
Arsenal kept seven clean sheets in 19 home league games last season and they have won their last six meetings with Leeds, keeping them at bay on two occasions during that time.
Leeds will be on a high after Monday’s 1-0 victory at home to Everton, but they had only three shots on target and they will likely struggle to create clear-cut opportunities at the Emirates.
