Arsenal vs Leeds

Jurriën Timber became only the second Arsenal defender to register 3+ goal involvements in a Premier League match (2 goals, 1 assists) with Nacho Monreal the other, whilst he is the first defender to both score and assist in the same Premier League match for the Gunners since Cédric Soares against Everton in May 2022.

Arsenal’s Max Dowman (15y 235d) became just the third player to appear in a Premier League game before turning 16 years old after teammate Ethan Nwaneri v Brentford in September 2022 (15y 181d) and Jeremy Monga for Leicester City v Newcastle United in April (15y 271d).

Leeds United have now lost each of their last six away matches in the Premier League, their longest losing run on the road in the top-flight since a run of nine between October 1992 and February 1993 under Howard Wilkinson.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 14 meetings with Leeds in all competitions (W12 D2), winning each of the last six in a row.

Leeds have lost 10 of their last 12 Premier League away games against Arsenal (W2), while they’ve not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 14 at the Gunners.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 42 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W37 D5), since a 1-0 loss to Newcastle in November 2010. Avoiding defeat here would see them equal the competition’s longest run without a home defeat against promoted teams – 43 by Chelsea between 2001 and 2015.

Leeds have lost 23 of their last 30 away league matches in London (W4 D3), while in the Premier League they’ve lost their last seven in a row since a 2-1 win at Brentford on the final day of 2021-22.

Arsenal’s winner against Manchester United was via a header from Riccardo Calafiori from a corner, their 31st Premier League corner goal since 2023-24 – 11 more than any other side. Their xG from set plays was more than any other side on MD1 (1.02) but their open play xG was the third lowest (0.28), ahead only of Aston Villa and Everton.
