Daniel Farke\u2019s Leeds United will be up against it when they face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium this Saturday.<\/p>\n
Leeds got off to a winning start against Everton<\/a> on their return to the Premier League, though the nature of the win has already got people talking about a familiar subject: referees.<\/p>\n James Tarkowski was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box<\/a>, resulting in a Leeds penalty, which proved to be the decider at Elland Road..<\/p>\n Whether it be classed as fortune or not, Leeds<\/a> will need more of that this Saturday, when they travel to the Emirates to face Mikel Arteta\u2019s Arsenal.<\/p>\n Leeds are one of the favourites for relegation<\/a> this season, while Arsenal will be deemed as genuine title contenders, showcasing the gulf in quality between the two sides.<\/p>\n Players like Bukayo Sako and Viktor Gyokeres, who Leeds once had the opportunity to sign<\/a>, will be looking to inflict plenty of damage on the Whites, and that is reflected by the latest predictions.<\/p>\n Arsenal only lost twice at home last seasonArsenal have won 53 times against the WhitesLeeds\u2019 last victory against the Gunners was in 2003<\/p>\n Via Opta<\/a>, Arsenal have a 70.4 per cent chance of taking all three points on Saturday evening, while Leeds have been awarded just a 12.5 per cent chance at victory.<\/p>\n Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/a> could make his Leeds debut against the Gunners, while summer signing Jaka Bijol will return from a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n Saturday is going to be a huge test, but overall, the outcome of the clash isn\u2019t going to tell much of a story if it ends in defeat.<\/p>\n These are not going to be the games that decide Leeds\u2019 future, though they will provide an indication as to how competitive they can be.<\/p>\n Farke will want his side to give a good account of themselves, and the momentum from Leeds\u2019 win against Everton at Elland Road<\/a> will certainly serve as a boost.<\/p>\n With just over a 12 per cent chance of victory, it is clear just how much Leeds will have to overcome to secure a result.<\/p>\n![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/daniel-farke-2-1024x576.jpg\")
