Leeds United will come up against a very determined Arsenal side this weekend in the Premier League. Gabby Agbonlahor believes that the Whites can cause an upset on Saturday.
The Gunners will be going into the game full of confidence as they anticipate a vibrant home crowd.
Mikel Arteta just signed a new contract, and the fans will be eager to see a result on the pitch. Bouncing back from the shock 3-0 defeat to Brighton will surely on everyone’s mind.
Leeds went into the break on a positive note, with a draw against Crystal Palace.
Daniel Farke’s side remain unbeaten in the league and will be hoping to continue that streak following the break.

Arsenal are the overwhelming favourites ahead of the game, considering they are among the best teams in the league this season.
They have won all but one of their games in this campaign, and boast of one of the best defensive units. Playing at the Emirates on Saturday also gives them a massive advantage.
The last time Leeds United were away to Mikel Arteta’s side, they lost by five goals.
However, Gabby Agbonlahor thinks it will be a tough game when both sides meet. The talkSPORT pundit tips Dominic Calvert-Lewin to be the first to score on Saturday.
“I see a cagey game where Arsenal struggle, but they find a way to win. I’m going to go 2-1 to Arsenal, but Leeds get the first goal – Calvert-Lewin.”
Calvert-Lewin has been in fine form this season, scoring four goals in seven games this season.

Leeds’ defence will matter more than the attack on Saturday
Even though Leeds United will need to score to stand a chance to win, holding their own defensively at the Emirates will be far more important.
The Gunners have scored five goals in their two home games so far, which should be something Daniel Farke will be weary about. Keeping them out will be key to getting a result.
Leeds’ away form in the league since February has been impressive, they have lost just one game on the road.
Seeing how Brighton managed to outplay the league holders, nothing is impossible. If they can execute their game plan and the backline have a great game, they can easily leave the Emirates with a result.
