  • Leeds are 16th in the Premier League table, six points above the relegation zone

  • Leaders Arsenal have a four-point lead at the summit

  • Recommended bet: Leeds or Draw – Double Chance

Leeds have put together a strong run of form over the last two months and they will be hoping to add another notable result when they welcome Premier League leaders Arsenal to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners' lead at the top of the table was cut to four points following last weekend's 3-2 home defeat to Manchester United, with Manchester City and Aston Villa both hunting Mikel Arteta's side down.

Leeds find themselves two places and six points above the bottom three heading into this weekend's fixtures and Daniel Farke will be eager for his players not to let up in their quest for survival.

Team news

Leeds pair Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha both remain sidelined with thigh issues, but Dan James could be involved with the squad after returning to full training following more than two months out.

Gabriel Gudmundsson is also closing in on a return to the first team and there is a small chance he could make the matchday squad.

William Saliba and Jurrien Timber missed Arsenal's Champions League win over Kairat Almaty on Wednesday with niggles but the pair are both in contention to return.

Declan Rice and Mikel Merino are available after suspension, but Max Dowman remains sidelined and is not expected back for another couple of weeks.

Prediction

A dramatic 4-3 loss at Newcastle is the only defeat Leeds have suffered in their last 11 assignments in all competitions and the upturn in form for the Whites has the fanbase feeling confident of Premier League survival.

However, with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest and West Ham in 16th picking up positive results recently, Farke knows the job is far from done and he will be hoping his side have plenty to cheer about when hosting Arsenal.

Leeds have collected 11 points from the last 15 on offer at home, beating Fulham, Crystal Palace and Chelsea while drawing against Liverpool and Manchester United, and the West Yorkshire outfit look capable of getting something from Saturday's contest.

Arsenal have started to slip in the league, with 0-0 draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest followed by a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Red Devils at the Emirates last weekend.

With the Gunners still in every domestic cup competition and also safely through to the last-16 stage of the Champions League, the sheer volume of games in recent weeks appear to be taking its toll on the squad.

Heading to a hostile Elland Road, this will not be an easy test for Arsenal and it could end up being more dropped points for the league leaders.
