Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has raved about Leeds United fans on the club’s official website ahead of the Premier League game between the Gunners and the Whites at Elland Road this weekend.
Leeds will take on Arsenal at Elland Road in the Premier League on Sunday.
Arteta has said that he has watched a few of the games of Leeds at Elland Road this season, and that he is fully aware of the hostile atmosphere that the fans will create for his players.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Leeds United fans at Elland Road
The Arsenal boss said when asked if his players are better equipped to stand up to hostile atmospheres such as Leeds: “I think so, but last year it was incredible – even when we were winning 3-0 that crowd is something that I’ve never seen before, and you can sense that.
“Every time I watch them and I’ve seen some games already and you can hear the noise, so we know how it’s going to be.”
Tough game
In our opinion, Arsenal will find it hard to win against Leeds United at Elland Road in the Premier League this weekend.
Yes, the Gunners are on a roll now and are playing wonderful football, but Leeds are not easy pushovers.
The West Yorkshire club will be hard to beat at Elland Road, especially with the home fans behind them.
True, Arsenal have the better team and are in better form, but Leeds do have some wonderful players as well.
The Whites will know that even a point against the current Premier League leaders will be massive.
