Arsenal will be counting on Liverpool to beat Tottenham Hotspur when Antonio Conte’s men travel to Anfield ahead of their match against the Reds today.
A lose for Tottenham Hotspur will open an opportunity for the Gunners to go five points clear off their North London neighbours, that is if they are able to beat Leeds United at the Emirates on Sunday.
This would come as a boost for the Mikel Arteta’s men ahead of the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur next Thursday, as they struggle to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.
Arsenal were able to return to winning ways when they beat Chelsea by four goals to two at Stamford Bridge, after losing three consecutive matches.
The North Londoners went ahead to beat Manchester United and West Ham making it three wins out of their last three Premier League matches.
Leeds United on the other hand, currently sits at 17th position with 34 points from 34 matches; and two points clear off the relegation zone; although they have played one more match than 18th place Everton.
The reverse match of this fixture saw Arsenal rout Leeds United by four goals to one and we should not be surprised if a similar score line plays out in tomorrow’s game.
