Arsenal return to Premier League action on Saturday following their 3-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion immediately before the international break.
The result ended the holders’ perfect start to the season and allowed Manchester City to move three points clear at the top of the table.
Head coach Mikel Arteta signed a new long-term contract last week and his side now face opponents who are one of five teams yet to lose a Premier League match this season, sitting three points behind Arsenal.
Leeds have drawn three of their last four league games, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 and drawing 1-1 at Brighton in their two on the road this season.

Arsenal vs Leeds stats and recent form
- Arsenal have won nine of their last 10 Premier League games against Leeds United (D1), including each of the last seven by an aggregate score of 24-5
- They have scored at least four goals in nine different Premier League games against Leeds United, including both meetings last term. Only the Gunners against Everton (12) and Manchester United against Newcastle (11) have done so more often against one other team in the competition
- The defeat at Brighton was Arsenal’s heaviest since May 2023, when they also 3-0 at home to Brighton at the Emirates Stadium
- Since the start of 2024, Arsenal have only lost back-to-back Premier League games once – in April 2026 – with this their 100th league game since then
- Arteta has won all four of his Premier League games against Leeds United counterpart Daniel Farke, representing the Spaniard’s joint-best 100%-win rate against a manager in the top flight (level with Gary O’Neil), and Farke’s worst 100%-loss rate against a head coach during his league career in England
- Leeds have lost each of their last five away league games against Arsenal since a 3-2 victory in May 2003, conceding at least four goals in four of those games
- The Whites have won one of their last 17 away league games against the reigning English top-flight champions (D6 L10), although that was the last time they visited Arsenal as title-holders, a 3-2 victory in May 2003
- On that occasion, the result meant the Gunners could no longer defend their title while also all-but securing the Leeds’ safety from relegation
- With two wins and three draws, Leeds have started a league campaign unbeaten in five matches for the first time since their promotion-winning campaign of 2019/20 under Marcelo Bielsa, last achieving the feat in the top flight in 2001/02 (first 11)
- Leeds’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin is one of two players to rank in the top 10 for aerial duels won (24), runs made ending in the box (33), and high-intensity pressures made in the opposition half (187) in the 2026/27 Premier League, alongside Everton’s Thierno Barry
