Arsenal VS Leeds United

Arsenal’s title credentials have been called into question by their heavy 0-3 away loss to Brighton right before the international break, leaving them 3 points behind league leaders Manchester City in second place with 12 points from 4 wins and 1 loss.

I always conduct thorough, meticulous research for every pick to ensure maximum reliability. That lopsided loss to Brighton saw Arsenal’s backline completely dismantled by the opponent’s high pressing scheme, trailing 0-2 at half time and ending the game with only 11 shots, 6 fewer than their hosts that day. Now back at the Emirates after the nearly three-week international hiatus, Arteta’s side are in urgent need of a win to get their title push back on track. Their injury woes in defense are particularly severe: Saliba will not be available until November, Trossard is sidelined for three weeks with a muscle issue, Havertz picked up a hamstring strain on Germany duty, Konsa has withdrawn from the England squad, and two more squad members will have to pass late fitness tests to be cleared for selection.
