Team News and Predicted Lineups
Arsenal
Arteta will have to reshuffle his squad due to injuries. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are sidelined, while Christian Nørgaard remains a doubt. The club is also racing to register Eberechi Eze before the deadline, which could make him eligible for a debut. On a positive note, summer signings Viktor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi are expected to start again after impressing in the previous match.
Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3):
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Ødegaard; Saka, Gyökeres, Martinelli.
Leeds United
Leeds arrive in London without their captain Ethan Ampadu, who is ruled out. New signing Noah Okafor could make his first appearance, most likely from the bench.
Predicted Leeds XI (4-2-3-1):
Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Stach, Gruev; James, Tanaka, Gnonto; Nmecha.
Match Analysis and Score Prediction
Arsenal hold a dominant record against newly promoted teams at the Emirates, unbeaten in their last 42 Premier League home matches against such opposition. Arteta’s tactical discipline, combined with the firepower of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, makes the Gunners heavy favorites.
Leeds will likely look to frustrate Arsenal with a compact setup, hitting on the counter through Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James. However, their defensive vulnerabilities and the absence of Ampadu could prove costly.
Predicted Score: Arsenal 2-0 Leeds United.
