Chris Sutton has predicted that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will win against Javi Gracia’s Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this weekend.
The former Chelsea striker has backed Arsenal to pick up all three points against Leeds in North London on Saturday courtesy of a 2-0 win, as quoted on BBC Sport.
The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 69 points from 28 matches.
Mikel Arteta’s side are as many as eight points ahead of second-placed and defending champions Manchester City, who have played 27 games.
Meanwhile, Leeds currently find themselves 14th in the Premier League table with 26 points from 27 matches.
The West Yorkshire club are two points above the bottom three.
Chris Sutton predicts Arsenal vs Leeds United
Sutton wrote: “I have said many times this season that Leeds have got some talented players who have not put a 90-minute performance together, and they finally did that with their 4-2 win at Wolves before the international break.
“I certainly don’t see this as being straightforward for Arsenal but the Gunners are on this marvellous run of six successive league wins since they lost to Manchester City in February, and they always seem to find a way of getting the right result.

“Leeds will be lively and I really like Wilfried Gnonto when he gets on the ball but Arsenal have got Bukayo Saka, who is the best right-winger in the world at the moment.
“Gabriel Jesus will be closer to full fitness now too after getting some minutes under his belt in March so they have got some great options up front. Arsenal will create lots of chances and I don’t see Leeds keeping them out.
“Sutton’s prediction: 2-0.”
Who will win?
In our view, Arsenal will head into the match against Leeds United this weekend as clear favourites.
It is really hard to see the Whites win at the Emirates Stadium in North London.
Yes, of course, Leeds could spring a surprise and get a draw in North London, but we believe that the Gunners are simply too good and will end up with all three points in the end.
