We're in good place, so we just have to keep the run going. Leeds are a good side. They've improved massively from the tail end of Bielsa. But that being said, I'd back us to claim all three points.
Prediction
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal

Think he seems like a good coach. He has coached a bit everywhere so he surely knows his trade.
Biesa is something else. A true legend and he is the one that brought Leeds back to the big time. Totally different league in my view. Not necessarily pragmatic but a true great! Plus any coach sipping coffee on the sideline has my approval!

Marsch has a good squad, even with Raphinha gone. He gets them to play like maniacs at Elland Rd. Makes good teams look bad. That Chelsea game was brutal too. I remember it.

Next two PL games are against 18th and 20th sides so hopefully we can coast through them. Only 8 more matches to get through before the WC.

Dear Lord this has been some game. How we've won this I don't know, reminds me of some Leicester games back in 2015/2016.
Excellent use of VAR at the end, it has to be said. I was fuming at the penalty given the push that happened before.

League is very weak
I’m not talking about predictions. Pre match I said this is the biggest match of the season so far.

Sp**s don’t ever get dominated like that. They just boring as hell. We got completely outplayed second half
We missed Elneny from the bench on this one, Zinchenko too.
We moan about Arteta’s lack of subs but there wasn’t a whole lot to turn to.

Go easy on the little cretins.
Greatest Premier League start in their little club's history with a manager who is far above their station, and yet they find themselves staring at Arsenal's back.
I'm surprised most of them aren't alcoholics at this point

Don't know about you, brother, but a win at Elland Road is not something to scoff at.
If's their first home loss of the season & they were playing well.
Had it been Bielsa on their bench, we probably could've gotten another 4 goals at least.
All in all, a fortuitous yet impressive win all the same. Especially when the trip to & from Bodo gets factored into the match preparations.
Rather nice to be able to focus on a European fixture & watch our rivals slog it out knowing that, regardless of Tuesday & Wednesday's results, we're still top of the league.

Elneny for Partey and this would have been a completely different second half.
Miss Neny too.

Reinventing VAR 😡
Tbh I completely forgot Mo was still with us. It's been so long since I've seen or heard about his injury that I wrote him off.

Altho limited as a player, Mo's experience & reliability is a miss at the moment.Tbh I completely forgot Mo was still with us. It's been so long since I've seen or heard about his injury that I wrote him off.

Normaly a team like Leeds is perfect for our set-up because we will get a lot of space to play in but yesterday we werent at our best. Leeds deserved a point tbf, but i take a nasty win because it have been ages since we got one.
An away game after an away game to Norway in Europa on thursday is not something that is very easy. if it was a home Europa game, we might have done better. But away game means we will not have sufficient time to prepare at all. Leeds had an entire week to prepare.
For next week against Southampton, they have a Wed game. We have a home Europa. So it should not be this difficult. Against Sheffield, we have an away Europa followed by Home game. Expecting us to negotiate both games much more smoothly.
And as the great Aaron Ramsdale once said "And Breath"...

Champions are made in this kind of games. In order to win a league title, a team must be able to not dominate and still get the win, in order to build that winning aura. It wasn't a great performance, but we managed to win, while City lost.
We can now afford to lose to City and still be in first place, a scenario that every single one of us would buy if it was offered to us at the start of the season.

I found it insane that had Gabriel actually been penalised for that kick that it would have been given as a penalty. An incident like that could occur anywhere on the pitch and had nothing to do with where the play was happening

Same is true of most fouls in the box, isn’t it?

Most of the time it has to do with how play was developing (e.g the ball is about to be delivered into the box but a defender blocks off a runner), so it's at least a bit relevant.
If Gabriel clocked Bamford in the Leeds box then it's basically a goal kick, but if he does it in his own box it's a pen, which seems completely arbitrary.
