Sky Sports expert predicts result of Leeds United clash v Arsenal
Leeds United will face Arsenal in the Premier League at Elland Road on Saturday in the Premier League.
The Whites are winless in their last three games where they conceded 12 goals.
Sky Sports’ betting expert Lewis Jones has a predicted a 0-0 draw for this tie.
“Since losing to Chelsea in August, Mikel Arteta’s team have taken 22 points from a possible 24 at home. However, they have lost their last three Premier League away games, winning just two of their last eight on the road,” Jones wrote for Sky Sports News.
“However, I also don’t want to trust Leeds without Kalvin Phillips. Since their promotion to the Premier League, Leeds have a worrying record when the England international doesn’t play, losing 11 of their 14 fixtures.”
Injuries
Leeds need to get back to winning ways at the earliest.
They produced their best performance of the season in the 3-2 defeat against Chelsea, but the 7-0 humiliation against Man City could have a demoralising effect on the team.
Arsenal are heading into the fixture on the back of a 2-0 win against West Ham in the Premier League, but Leeds will be boosted by the fact that the Gunners have a poor record away from home.
Once again, Leeds are struggling badly with injuries.
The likes of Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk are still out, while Jamie Shackleton and Dan James have now been added to the injury list.
Junior Firpo will serve a one-game suspension, which means Leeds will be without as many as eight first-team players.
Leeds find themselves in a horrible scenario, but Bielsa will be hoping to find a way to secure a positive result at home.
In other Leeds United news, Marcelo Bielsa has commented on the chance of loan players returning to Elland Road in January.
