Arsenal vs Leeds Match Preview

Arsenal will face Leeds in this EFL Cup game that will be played at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal had a terrible start this season failing very badly, fans were abusing Arteta so much but the management did really well of not sacking him and now he is giving results. Arsenal has lost just once out of the last ten games played, winning seven of them. Though, two out of their last three games have ended in a draw.

Tierney and Xhaka would be out due to injuries and Arteta would give his main players some rest as Premier League for him is more important.

Leeds has been poor this season compared to the previous one. Bielsa's tactics are not attacking anymore as last season. They were a team whose games were high scoring but not nowadays as five out of the last six games played by them have ended in under 2.5 goals and three out of the last five had under 1.5 goals.

Leeds would be without their main striker Bamford, Rodrigo could play at the front in his place. Ayling and Koch will also be unavailable due to injuries.

Odds for draw look very valuable here in my opinion. Arsenal surely wants to improve in Premier League more as Arteta is definitely in the race for a top-4 finish seeing Manchester United's terrible form. 

I, therefore, feel Arsenal could be even with their second eleven and a draw looks possible result here.
