Arsenal vs Leeds United preview: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match on DAZN in Canada

Saturday's Premier League action ends in North London, where Arsenal host Leeds United.

The Gunners claimed an expected victory last weekend to kick off their 2025-26 campaign, defeating Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford. While the result was positive, Arsenal's performance drew some criticism and a decisive victory in their first home match of the season would go a long way to quiet the detractors.

As for Leeds, they also won by a 1-0 scoreline last weekend, defeating visiting Everton to mark a positive return to the top flight. As big as that win was, any kind of result at the Emirates would be monumental as Leeds aim to stay up.

Arsenal vs Leeds United: What the managers are saying

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal

(via Arsenal)

"Very impressed [with Leeds United]. I've been watching them, what they did in pre-season, what they did on Monday, what they did last year, in the manner that they did it.

"Big compliments to the way they play, to the coach. I'm sure they're going to put a really difficult match against us tomorrow."

Daniel Farke, Leeds United

(via Leeds United)

“We won’t sell our DNA in this Premier League season. I think if you just concentrate on trying to defend 90 or whatever, 95, 96 minutes, you have no chance to survive there.

“You have to make sure that you have as many periods as possible when you also control the ball, when you can recover with possession and let them shift and let them waste some energy against the ball.

“I think it is also important to try to create chances to be dangerous ourselves and to play positive football and try to create chances to score goals.

“So for that, of course, there will be also periods in the game when we suffer and when we have to be well structured and really as a compact unit against the ball.

“Then we have to show, of course, also our defensive steel and also the behaviour that we have shown in pre-season, but also on the first game day that we can defend our goal.

“We hardly conceded a chance against us on the first game day and we will try to do the same also in the difficult away game.”

Arsenal vs Leeds United prediction

The Gunners weren't particularly impressive in their opening match but still kept a clean sheet and earned a victory. At home against Leeds, the conditions are ripe for Arsenal to do the same again, with more goals.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Leeds United
