Arsenal v Leeds Utd
Sunday 14th [email protected] | Emirates Stadium


Having won three out of their last 4 league matches, a confident Leeds squad will be travelling down to the Emirates Stadium hoping they can break heir London voodoo. The Whites have not won in London since dispatching QPR at Loftus Road in December 2017.

Due to their recent revival, Bielsa's lads have climbed a point clear of the Gunners in 10th place, on 32 points. Arsenal will be desperate to avoid a third defeat on the bounce, as they look to claw their way back into the top half.

David Luiz and Bernd Leno both return from suspensions for the hosts whilst Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney face late fitness tests due to respective muscular and calf injuries.

Leeds and England ace Kalvin Philips is a doubt for the trip to North London after the 24yo picked up a knock following their 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.

We await news on Llorente, Rodrigo and a comeback date for Berardi who returned to first team training this week.

 

Good to see you back El

Regardless of winning 3 out of 4 this is London and potentially without Philips, plus we rarely draw so I fear the worst.

On a positive note a win here would be amazing for the teams confidence and could push us on for a top half finish

 

I have a feeling that just as we seem to have broken Leicester and Newcastle, we will also break Arsenal andnthat could mean the beginning of the end for boot polish head. I am going for a 1-3 away win

 

We were the better team against Arsenal in the cup and were the better team against Arsenal in the league this year.

I genuinely think we have the edge on them and should have a good chance of beating them.

The last two games against them we have been awful in front of goal. Hopefully their luck runs out and we bang a few in.

 

Welcome back Ell good to hear you are on the mend
As far as this weeks game is concerned I see all the pressure being on Arsenal they are more desperate for the win than we are
It would be good to put the London jinks to bed against Arsenal 1-1 would do for me but who knows

 

Not sure if anyone has seen this on social media but thought this was quite funny.

 

That’s the start of his windup, like it

 

I want us to absolutely thrash Arsenal & start them on the horrible spiral down towards relegation.

Then we can sign Tierney.

 

Good news, it appears. Tierney & Partey both out for Sunday ...

Alioski seems to have upset the Arse supporters regarding Bamford's comments that Folee mentioned ....

Posted this link on the Guest Breakfast Debate & WJ suggested putting it on here too. Not my work but the guy that did it has done a brilliant job imo

 

I had to laugh at the comment forcing a rivalry. We were rivals long before some of these fans were even born. Many of whom probably never had the chance to go to Highbury and are only used to playing in their relatively new souless shiny stadium. Stupid twats.

 

The windup is obviously working

 

Absolutely brilliant

 

Welcome back Ell

Can’t see us winning this one but there is no pressure to do so therefore it’s just sit back and enjoy the game.

 

Even better news, David Luiz is fit

 

My gooner son is nervous about this one

 

Clue is in the names....(arse)nal.....(goon)ers
