Arsenal vs Leeds: Gunners aim to extend lead over City in Premier League match

Published

on

ARSENAL entertain Leeds in their next Premier League clash on Saturday – and they’ll be hoping Bukayo Saka can continue his phenomenal form.

The Gunners wonderkid put it on a plate for record-breaking Harry Kane before scoring a screamer during England’s 2-0 win against Ukraine.

And this follows the previous weekend when Saka, 21, fired Arsenal to a EIGHT point gap at the top of the table with two strikes against Crystal Palace.

However, Leeds are no strangers to putting the ball in the back of the net themselves having notched up four past ten-man Wolves before the international break.

Furthermore, Javia Gracia’s side cannot afford any slip-ups as they only sit two points clear of the relegation zone.

Eddie Nketiah’s ankle is need of an assessment having missed out on a number of games this month.

While Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny are both set to sit on the side-lines for the remainder of the season.
