don't think a victory for the whites is going to ruin our valentines day. can't go out anyway.

Couldn't even beat us with 10 men when everyone was beating us.

😂😁 Made a right mess of that didn't I.

Been redecorating my Daughters house and laying new flooring..........thought today was Saturday 🙄

1-2, I cant see how a defence that bad can handle Raphina and Harrison atm.

Only Spurs and Man City have conceded less than us this year and you couldn't score against us last time with 10 men

I don't think we're favourites or anything but it just seems like you're being lazy and going on a stereotype from years back

We must, eventually, come back from t'Big Smoke with SOMETHING
I think this could be the time, and I'll predict that classic old-time Arsenal-Leeds scoreline .. 1-1.

The London hoodoo will come to an end, and if we have KP fit, with Arsenal looking shaky, this could be it. On paper, Arsenal look the better team, but they don't seem to gel. Saka, Pepe and Rowe-Smith look very lively and you would think with experienced players like Willian and Luis and Aubemayang around them, the Gunners would be aiming for at least a European place. But they just can't put teams away and only show up for the big games. There are behind-the-scene rumours about Luis exerting more authority than Arteta, and there is a lack of discipline on the pitch. And is there any coach who looks more unhappy more of the time than Arteta?
On the other hand, we are progressing quite nicely, three wins out of four, and our loss to a very good Everton team was a narrow one. Against Palace, there were pleasing signs of being able to control the game, even though we should have scored at least 3 more. Bielsa, and Leeds, are looking more and more at home in this division.
I am expecting a tight game with very little in it, but with Raph, Bamford, Klich and Harrison beginning to stretch the opposition, I can see at least one goal in this for us.
However, Arsenal may have an ace up their sleeve with Odegaard. He looks like a real player, and we know that Ayling and Coops can get caught for pace.
It's a fascinating match-up, but we are slightly stronger away from home, and I think we might just do it. 2-1, with Raph to double the pain for Arteta.

This made me laugh. 10/10 for effort. Could end up being more accurate than I’d like, too.

Arsenal 0 Leeds 3
Bamford hat trick

I think All the Bielsa's forecast there is very balanced and might well be spot on.

COME ON LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning fellow leeds fans hope your all well.
So tomorrow can we finally get over our london curse and win against Arsenal?.
Why is it every time we are due to play Arsenal in any match they need to start picking points up aswell to get their season back on track.
Lets hope we can stop them and get our first win in London for a while.
Come On Leeds....MOT

To be honest I’d be happy with a point. Arsenal are no mugs even if they have been relatively poor so far this season.

I’m looking up now though and really do feel we could break into the top 8. Top 6 is too much to expect I think and could even come back to bite us on the bum next season.

2-2 my prediction. Harrison and Bamford.

The better half is a life long Arsenal fan born and raised in Islington so I have watched most of their games with her.

Since Arteta went for broke and included the youngsters like Smith- Rowe they have looked a much better proposition albeit the last 2 games have been a set back for them.

If the Arsenal that blew Frank's Chelsea away turns up, it will be a tough game.

Hoping Luis plays as I think he is the most overrated defender in football and usually makes a clanger and Pepe, who has shown signs of improvement has an 'off' day (again).

Also hoping Willan continues his woeful form and Lacazette and Aubameyang are kept quiet - the latter having a quiet season so far.

Going for Leeds win by a goal.

...also glad Partey is out - he has started looking like a quality player in recent weeks.

Arsenal by all accounts have been unfortunate in recent weeks and have played well, we cannot expect the Ref to send a couple of their players off.
Key to this game is Kalvin being fit enough to start.
If he isn't, then we lose easily.

Good article on Pat Bamford here...

Let's hope he's firing on all four and pulling their defence about tomorrow!

Cheers, didn't realise there'd be an undercard with covid etc. Still, may not be the usual 3'ish hours wait after the advertised time.
