Описание: 🔴 Leeds United vs Arsenal LIVE Watchalong & Reactions | Premier League 25/26

We’re LIVE on Ash Talks Football for Leeds United vs Arsenal Rivals Watchalong from Elland Road as the Premier League 25/26 title race heats up and the leaders try to recover from a wobble.

League leaders Arsenal come into this one four points clear at the top but winless in their last three league games, including that dramatic 3–2 home defeat to Manchester United last weekend.

Leeds United sit 16th but have quietly turned their season around, losing just once in their last 11 and making Elland Road a horrible place to visit.

Tonight we’re watching it all unfold live – goals, chaos, VAR drama, title-race pressure and relegation fears all in one game.

📊 Match Context – Table, Form & Head-to-Head

Arsenal: Top of the table on 50 points, but with Man City and Aston Villa only four points behind and closing in.

Leeds: 16th, six points above the relegation zone, fresh off a gritty 1–1 draw away at Everton.

Form guide

Leeds (last 6 PL): D D D L W D – tight games, hard to beat.

Arsenal (last 6 PL): W W W D D L – huge season overall, but mini wobble in January.

Head-to-head

Arsenal have won their last six league meetings vs Leeds, overall run of seven straight wins, and hammered them 5–0 in the reverse fixture in August.

Perfect watchalong narrative: title-chasing giant under pressure vs resurgent underdog in a hostile away ground.

🟡 Leeds United – Farke’s Fighters

Leeds under Daniel Farke have slowly built a compact, intense side:

Position: 16th, but performances are better than the table suggests.

Key threat:

Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 9 league goals, focal point for everything in attack.

Brenden Aaronson – drifting between the lines, supporting Calvert-Lewin.

Injuries:

Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha out with thigh problems.

Gabriel Gudmundsson and Daniel James in contention after knocks.

Predicted Leeds XI (3-5-2 / 5-3-2 style):
Darlow; Rodon, Struijk, Bornauw; Bogle, Ampadu, Stach, Gruev, Justin; Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin.

What to watch from Leeds:

Aggressive pressing and energy in midfield (Ampadu, Stach, Gruev).

Set-piece threat with big bodies in both boxes.

How they protect the channels against Saka and Martinelli.

🔴 Arsenal – Arteta Under Pressure at the Top

Mikel Arteta brings Arsenal into Elland Road under real pressure:

Top of the league, but no win in 3 and coming off a 3–2 home loss to Man Utd.

They’ve still won six of their last seven vs Leeds and score heavily in this fixture (20–5 aggregate in that run).

Injury situation is actually good:

William Saliba, Jurriën Timber, Gabriel and Declan Rice all available again. Can Eze & Havertz provide impact from the bench?

Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3):
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapié; Ødegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyökeres, Martinelli.

Bukayo Saka – scored in each of his last two trips to Elland Road, main outlet on the right.

Viktor Gyökeres – joint Arsenal league top scorer, physical No.9 leading the line.

Martin Ødegaard – creative hub, drifting between lines to break Leeds’ mid-block.

Declan Rice & Martin Zubimendi – controlling midfield and screening transitions.

⚔️ Key Battles We’ll Talk About on Stream

Calvert-Lewin vs Saliba/Gabriel – classic physical 9 vs elite centre-backs duel.

Ampadu & Stach vs Rice & Zubimendi – who wins the midfield duels and second balls?

Saka vs Gudmundsson/Justin – can Leeds cope with Saka’s 1v1 threat out wide?

Arteta’s structure vs Farke’s counter-plan – does Arsenal control the game or get dragged into chaos?
