Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed that Arsenal will give Leeds United ‘a bit of a beating’ when the two meet in the Premier League at Elland Road on Sunday.
Arsenal travel to Yorkshire sitting top of the Premier League table and Agbonalhor thinks they will maintain that spot and beat Jesse Marsch’s Leeds 3-0, as he told talkSPORT.
On paper, this should be one of those games that the London club walk away from with three points.
Even more so given that Leeds haven’t tasted a win in the Premier League since August when they recorded a 3-0 win against then-Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea.
One thing is for sure, being that underdog and coming up against a hostile Leeds crowd will make life more difficult for Mikel Arteta and his players.
And whilst there might be a fair few goals in this, Agbonlahor thinks the game is only headed towards one direction.
“I think this could be a bit of a beating for Leeds,” said Agbonlahor. “So, I am going to go Arsenal 3-0.”
FREE-SCORING ARSENAL
The speed and confidence Arsenal are playing with, at the moment, is making life difficult for the best of the best.
Only Manchester City (33), who have goal-crazy Erling Haaland at their disposal, have scored more goals than the north London club (23) in the Premier League this season.
So, from that perspective, Leeds will do pretty damn well to stop the current leaders from scoring at Elland Road.
But they have shown that they can do it against one London club in Yorkshire, and that in fine style, so there is no reason why they can’t do it again, even if it would be a bigger upset.
