The league leaders face a desperate team who are facing relegation right in the eyes. Follow this interesting match with our detailed guide.

This will be a key match for both sides in their quest to secure their goals for this season. On one hand, a win for Arsenal could give them a huge lead at the top. On the other, a victory for Leeds would see them rising above those fighting to avoid relegation.

Javi Gracias0 team has much to lose, but they also need to take some risks to escape the relegation battle. Their 4-2 away win against Wolves (one of the teams battling relegation) will give them the necessary boost for this match, although their form on the road has been anything but impressive, as they have only collected nine points out of fourteen away matches, one of the worst records in the league.

Arsenal make it to this game following a six-game winning streak in the Premier League. Those wins have given them an eight-point lead over Manchester City for the top spot in the competition. Their only setbacks in terms of form came in the UEFA Europa League, where Sporting eliminated them in a shocking penalty shootout held at Emirates Stadium. When it comes to indivitual performances, coach Mikel Arteta will be glad to have Gabriel Jesús around, but starlet Bukayo Saka will be the one to keep an eye on, as the English footballer scoring 12 goals and handing out 10 assists in what has been a season to remember for the 21-year-old.

As for Leeds United, Javi Gracia's team enter the leaders' den with two wins in their last four games, which have given them some breathing room in the race to avoid relegation. Nonetheless, three of their last five games on the road have ended in defeat, which will be something they will try to avoid this Saturday. The team will certainly benefit from any contribution by Rodrigo, who has scored eleven times for the Peacocks this season, but if he is not around, the style of play and skills shown by Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper, and Crysencio Summerville willbe appreciated by their fans to try and give them some options to win this tie.
