Leeds United will test their unbeaten Premier League record against Arsenal on Saturday.

The Whites will travel to the Emirates Stadium on 10 October to face the reigning champions, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30pm local time.

Daniel Farke has gotten off to an encouraging start, winning two and drawing three of the first five league matches.

Leeds have set themselves up to make progress in the Premier League this season and possibly compete for a European spot.

The West Yorkshire outfit made astute summer signings to improve the quality of the German manager's squad.

If the Peacocks can get a positive result in North London, confidence in achieving something special in LS11 will only increase.

Where Leeds United could finish in Premier League

Leeds are one of the five unbeaten Premier League teams right now, and only once have so many teams gone five games unbeaten — in the 2003-04 campaign.

The Whites boast the league's joint-best defensive record, having conceded just three goals so far.

James Trafford has brought much-needed quality in goal at Elland Road.

Up front, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has picked up from where he left off last season, scoring three Premier League goals this season.

The West Yorkshire outfit finished 14th last season, but to Alan Brazil's surprise, they may have an outside chance of doing much better this time around.

When the Scotsman was told on talkSPORT that the Peacocks had a slight possibility of finishing in a Champions League spot, he responded, "Top four, are they?"

Ray Parlour predicts how game vs Arsenal will go

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour hopes Mikel Arteta's team can bounce back after losing to Brighton and Hove Albion before the international break.

The Gunners are the clear favourites for the game, but Leeds are no longer the team that were beaten 5-0 and 4-0 last season by the eventual champions.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Parlour said, "Arsenal may have all the possession; Leeds will sit there and try to hit them on the break.

"If you can score early against Leeds and you get on that front foot, then hopefully the crowd will be right behind them."

Farke can count on someone like Noah Okafor to run in behind the North London club's defence and cause problems.

Calvert-Lewin will have a fight on his hands against Gabriel and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in that battle.
