What Jason Cundy gets wrong about Leeds United in early prediction vs Arsenal
Leeds United will be confident about their chances against Arsenal after the international break.
The Whites will return to action on 10 October, with Daniel Farke's team set to travel to the Emirates Stadium.
After five matches, the West Yorkshire outfit are one of the few teams still unbeaten in the Premier League, something the Gunners can't boast.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has led the line effectively at Elland Road, while the likes of Nico Elvedi and Tarik Muharemovic have brought solidity to the backline.
In midfield, Ethan Ampadu has continued his fine form from last season and the German manager has plenty of reliable players at his disposal.
Just before the three-week break, Mike Arteta's team suffered a 3-0 defeat against Brighton at the Amex and they will surely want to get back to winning ways.
What Jason Cundy has predicted for Arsenal vs Leeds United
Farke has built a resolute team at Leeds and it's not easy to get the three points against them.
Yet, Jason Cundy believes the Whites are in for a "pasting" at the Emirates Stadium in a clearly surprise prediction.
The former Chelsea defender clearly doesn't appreciate the defensive qualities the West Yorkshire have shown this season.
Farke has clearly learned a lot from the previous campaign and has built a backline that has conceded just three league goals, the joint-fewest along with Everton.
Arsenal have also only scored one more Premier League goal than the Peacocks after five matches, making Cundy's prediction ridiculous.
The Gunners will surely be favourites for the game, but all signs point towards Farke's team making it tough for them in North London.
Speaking on talkSPORT on 24 September, Cundy said, "They've got Leeds, haven't they, Arsenal? I think Leeds are in for a pasting. I think [the Brighton defeat] will be a good thing for Arsenal."
Who has been most influential player at Elland Road in 2026-27 campaign
Calvert-Lewin has scored the goals for Leeds, while Muharemovic has been a brilliant summer signing for them.
Several other players have stood out for the Whites so far this season, but none have been as influential as James Trafford.
The West Yorkshire outfit made a significant financial commitment to sign the goalkeeper from Manchester City, and he has been worth the money.
Trafford has undoubtedly improved the quality in between the sticks at Elland Road and has already delivered some game-changing performances.
With the England international as the number one, the Peacocks might be able to pull off a European finish in the Premier League.
