Arsenal and Leeds aim to keep their flawless Premier League starts intact
Arsenal continue their Premier League title push this weekend with what looks to be a favourable fixture against newly promoted Leeds United.
Mikel Arteta’s side will be aiming for two wins from two after grinding out a crucial 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in their season opener. Despite a lacklustre overall display, a header from Riccardo Calafiori proved decisive against Manchester United.
That match also saw the debut of marquee signing Viktor Gyokeres, though the Swedish striker endured a frustrating afternoon. He failed to muster a single shot on target before being substituted on the hour mark.
Leeds, meanwhile, marked their return to the top flight in winning fashion, edging Everton 1-0 at Elland Road. The decisive moment came from the penalty spot, converted by new signing Lucas Nmecha, a former Manchester City academy graduate.
