Defeat to Man Utd has seen Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League cut to four points with Man City and Aston Villa in pursuit. Are the Gunners starting to wobble?

In seasons past, a trip to a ground that can be a fortress has seen them crumble. So, this visit to Elland Road will be a true test of Arsenal’s character heading down the stretch.

Leeds have their own aspirations for the rest of the season – to stave off relegation. An upturn in form, which has seen one defeat in 10, gives them a six-point cushion from the bottom three.

📂 Leeds v Arsenal Cheat Sheet

📈Leeds v Arsenal Form & Tactics

Arsenal’s success this season that has carried them to the top of the Premier League has been built on a couple of things – defensive solidity and set-pieces.

It’s 11 clean sheets – the most in the top-flight – with just 17 goals conceded, which shows the defensive aspects that have been pleasing Mikel Arteta. Meanwhile, they’ve been potent from corners especially, scoring 13 goals from set-pieces, another league-high.

But they might be challenged at trying to keep Leeds quiet from dead-ball situations. The Whites have scored 12 times from them, which is the joint-second best record. And it’s the hosts in this one who have recorded the most set-piece shots (107) this term.

Daniel Farke has made Leeds difficult to beat in recent weeks after just that one defeat in 10 league games. While at Elland Road, they’ve lost twice from 11 matches – against title-chasing Aston Villa and Spurs.

However, Leeds don’t have fond memories of playing Arsenal. They’re winless in each of their last six at home to the Gunners (D2 L4). While the London club have won the last six meetings by an aggregate score of 20-5, so they’ve really filled their boots.

And another stat that won’t surprise you is that Leeds have never won a Premier League home game against the side starting top of the table (D7 L7).

📔Leeds v Arsenal Formation & Team News

Mikel Arteta has a few decisions to make following last weekend’s defeat to Man Utd, especially in attacking areas.

Gabriel Jesus got the nod to lead the line, but he could be replaced by Viktor Gyokeres, who scored twice in the 5-0 demolition of Leeds back in August. Arteta also has the option to recall Eberechi Eze, whose minutes have been limited in recent weeks, as well as Noni Madueke.

The Gunners went strong in the Champions League in midweek and went eight from eight after victory over Kairat Almaty. Kai Havertz returned with a goal and is in contention. Riccardo Calafiori and Max Dowman are absentees.

Leeds’ bid for Premier League survival has been strengthened in recent weeks since Daniel Farke changed to a back three. Since the start of December, the Whites have only lost once in their last 10 top-flight games (W3 D6) following Monday’s 1-1 draw at Everton.

Gabriel Gudmundsson missed the trip to Merseyside and is likely to be absent along with centre-back Jaka Bijol, who has a hamstring injury.

However, Leeds didn’t miss Gudmundsson too much. His replacement James Justin grabbed the goal at Everton and adds extra impetus in the final third, which resulted in the former Leicester defender recording five shots.
