Arsenal and Leeds United lock horns this weekend in matchday two of the Premier League’s new season.
Both sides are off the mark in terms of points this campaign so far, with similar terms of success after last weekend.
Saturday’s hosts at the Emirates, Arsenal, narrowly bested Manchester United in their opening fixture last week thanks to Riccardo Calafiori’s tap-in following what must go down as an Altay Bayindir howler at Old Trafford.
It was the chance for fans to see new signing Viktor Gyokeres in action for Arsenal but the striker had a quiet afternoon.
Fans trolled Gyokeres over a Sporting CP benefit from his signing but the Gunners and their boss Mikel Arteta will be hoping his Swedish frontman can come to the fore this week.
Leeds secured their own 1-0 victory on the opening day and they did so on their own patch against David Moyes’ Everton thanks to a strike from Lukas Nmecha from the penalty spot.
Confidence is high after their first three points since their promotion from the EFL Championship at the end of last term and they could look to set a cat among the pigeons in North London.
Leading bookmakers have Arsenal at 1/4 to win the game while the Whites are at 9/1 to cause an upset.
Arsenal vs Leeds United Bet Builder Tips
- Viktor Gyokeres first goal scorer @ 11/4
- Martin Odegaard anytime assist @ 2/1
- Over 7.5 corners @ 1/6
Viktor Gyokeres first goal scorer @ 11/4
The lower odds tends to suggest the Swede is expected to hit the net at some stage. Even shorter odds come for anytime at 8/11 but one might argue it’s not a worthwhile punt unless real money is being spent.
In front of a home crowd the player will be determined to succeed and hit the ground running with a goal.
Doing so first would relieve any sort of pressure or stress and the ex-Sporting star can certainly handle that.
Martin Odegaard anytime assist @ 2/1
The Norwegian is chief midfield operator for Arsenal and most of the build goes through him.
Odegaard earned himself 12 assists in all competitions for his side last season from 45 outings and there’s always a chance he adds to his tally with his first of this year.
It must be said, 2/1 odds are half decent for such a creative spark.
Over 7.5 corners @ 1/6
We’ll level with you and admit that the odds are not great on this one. However, they certainly add to the overall treble which, when combined, comes in stronger.
Both teams like to attack, it’s as simple as that.
