Chris Sutton has said on BBC 606 that Leeds United’s Elland Road is better than Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

The former Chelsea striker believes that Elland Road has a better atmosphere than the Emirates Stadium.

The BBC Sport pundit made the comments in the build-up to the Premier League game between Arsenal and Leeds at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Sutton said on BBC 606: “Elland Road clearly. The Emirates is like a church. I loved Highbury. Arsenal should never have moved.”

Big game

The Premier League match between Arsenal and Leeds this afternoon is massive for both clubs.

While the Gunners are in the race for the Premier League top four, the Whites are in real danger of getting relegated to the Championship.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 63 points from 34 matches, while Leeds are two points above third-from-bottom Everton in 17th.

The Emirates Stadium faithful will have to be at their loudest this afternoon and have to get behind the team right from the first minute.

Arsenal will head into the match as favourites and are in form, and if they score an early goal, then we do not think that Leeds will be able to get anything from the game in North London.
