Arsenal vs Leeds United result predicted by supercomputer ahead of Premier League return
Leeds United have the toughest test possible on their return to Premier League action against Arsenal this coming weekend.
The three-week international break concludes on Tuesday night, meaning focus can then turn back to club matters.
For Leeds, that means a trip to Emirates Stadium to face the reigning English champions.
On paper, there is not a more difficult assignment all season for Daniel Farke's charges.
However, Arsenal were thumped 3-0 away at Brighton and Hove Albion in their most recent outing, so it is not an impossible task.
But how does the supercomputer expect Saturday's showdown in North London to play out?
What's supercomputer predicting for Arsenal vs Leeds?
Farke will still have both fingers crossed for no further injuries in these remaining internationals.
Jean-Matteo Bahoya has already returned to Leeds injured, although he has barely featured since arriving anyway.
With an otherwise fully-fit squad, Leeds are capable of pulling off a massive upset in the capital.
However, Opta Analyst's supercomputer does not fancy Leeds' chances at all.
Leeds are given just a 13.7 per cent chance of claiming all three points against Arsenal.
The Gunners, meanwhile, are given a 68.9 per cent likelihood of picking up the win, while the draw is at 17.3 per cent.
Why omens may actually be in Leeds' favour vs Arsenal
Firstly, the bad news. Leeds have lost nine of their past 10 Premier League matches against Arsenal, including each of the last seven by an aggregate scoreline of 24-5.
The Whites have not won away to Arsenal in the top flight since May 2003.
However, Leeds' only win away to the reigning English champions in 17 attempts came in this very fixture - that May 2003 showdown.
That was a huge day as it means the Gunners could no longer retain their crown, while Leeds all but secured their top-flight status.
The stakes are not as high this time around, but there is still plenty on the line for both sides.
And if Leeds bring their A-game, while Arsenal perform like they did against Brighton, there is no reason why that long wait for a win in this fixture cannot come to an end.
