Premier League second round: Predicted by Arsenal vs Leeds United August 23, 2025

Arsenal and Leeds United will play against the Premier League in Week 2 in the 2025/2026 season. This England League match will be played at Emirates Stadium. The game will kick off on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at 23:30.

Arsenal will continue their pace in the Premier League title race this weekend against the newly promoted Leeds United. The game, in theory, was a great opportunity for Mikel Arteta's side to continue a good start, especially after they opened the game at Old Trafford with a significant victory.

Although the team's performance is not yet completely convincing, a goal from Ricardo Caravery is enough to get Arsenal three-pointers against Manchester United. The match is also the debut of Victor Gicelles, the new Sweden striker who performed poorly in his first game and is still struggling to get back to form.

Leeds United came to the game with confidence after narrowly defeating Everton 1-0, marking their return to the Premier League. New player Lucas Nmecha, who played for Manchester City youth training, became the decisive figure through penalty kicks at Elland Road Stadium. This result provides valuable capital for the team coached by Daniel Farke, who aims to secure a position in the top league through stability.

Artta had to overcome some obstacles when forming a team. Kay Havertz is confirmed to be absent due to a knee injury, while Gabriel Jesus is still out for quite a long time. Leandro Trosad has returned and can become an option on the forward line. Also striving to enter the main lineup is Noni Marduk. Arsenal is still waiting for the clarity of Ebrech Nketia's registration, and he may make his debut if the registration is completed in time.

Unlike Arsenal, Leeds United has relatively little problem. Almost all the main players are ready to play, but they may not be able to send Noah Okafor, who is still in the final formalities for the transfer from AC Milan. In this case, Falk can reliably rely on a lineup that once succeeded against Everton.

In the match record between the two sides, Arsenal has an overwhelming advantage over Leeds United. Arsenal remained unbeaten in the last 14 matches, with 12 wins and 2 draws. They have won six straight games against Leeds United at Emirates Stadium, including Arteta's perfect record against Leeds United at Emirates Stadium. In addition, Arsenal has never lost in its last 42 home games against the Premier League team.

Arsenal vs Leeds United score prediction

Arsenal are obviously more optimistic, although their performance at Old Trafford was still unbelievable last week. The quality of the lineup and historical confrontation record favored Mikel Arteta's team. Home play offers Arteta the opportunity to re-demonstrate a more attractive offensive football, while Emirates Stadium supporters will serve as an extra energy injector.

This game will be an important test for Leeds United to measure their ability to face top opponents. Daniel Farke may emphasize solid game and quick conversions, hoping to find a chance to score in north London. Given the poor record against Arsenal, the draw would even feel like a victory for this team.

Seeing the difference between the two teams, Arsenal is predicted to dominate the direction of the game. Leeds can make a brief counterattack through the spirit and defensive organization, but the home team's offensive line is expected to be key.

Predicted final score: Arsenal 3-0 Leeds United
