The match is tomorrow and there's no match preview or predictions thread?
Ok, well this is going to be a tough one. Leeds are fighting relegation and recently they've been doing a good job of it. They have players like Alan Smith who'll fight till the end to keep that club in this division. They've also beaten us 2 years in a row at Highbury.
This is a must win game imo, obviously if we dropped points it wouldn't be tragic but I really don't want to see the team relax because we're so far ahead. Lets get the 3 wins as fast we can starting tomorrow.
We've had since Sunday off, while Leeds played on Tuesday I think. So we have a slight advantage there. We, however, have some important players missing in Cole and Freddie. Parlour should return to the bench though. Wiltord will probably start on the right again. I think we will see this team:
Lehmann
Lauren Toure Campbell Clichy
Wiltord Vieira Gilberto Pires
Bergkamp Henry/Reyes
Bench: 1. Shabaan 2. Reyes/Aliadiere 3. Kanu 4. Edu 5. Keown
Reyes played well against Newcastle, but I think Bergy will start this one as he was rested. Henry has injury problems so it's possible he might not play, in which case Reyes will probably start with Ali on the bench, if Henry plays though, Reyes will be on the bench.
Pires might need to do a bit more tracking back to help Clichy cope with Pennant who will be eager to make a point out there in front of Wenger. I think Clichy will manage well though as he's shown recently.
My prediction is a 3-1 win to the Arsenal. Pires will score first, Smith will equalise for Leeds and then Vieira will put us back in front and Reyes will give us a comfortable 3-1 win.
