The Arsenal football team will face Leeds United in week 36 of the 2021-2022 Premier League on Sunday, 08 May 2022, broadcast live streaming on BT Sport, BST.
Tottenham’s meeting with Liverpool this weekend opens up opportunities for Arsenal to solidify its position in fourth place in the standings. However, for that, the Gunners must win the match when they host Leeds United in week 36 of the 2021-2022 Premier League, Sunday 8 May 2022 at the Emirates Stadium, starting kick-off at 2pm local time.
Before meeting their toughest rivals this season in the North London Derby, Arsenal should ideally first widen the points gap with Tottenham. Currently Mikel Arteta’s men occupy fourth place in the standings with a two-point advantage over Spurs and five points over Manchester United.

Preview
After Arsenal have swept away wins in their last three games against top-flight clubs – Chelsea, Man United and West Ham – then on paper Leeds United will be a much easier opponent to face. Moreover, Jesse Marsch’s squad had just been slaughtered by the top standings, Manchester City, with four goals without reply.
However, the urgency felt by The Peacock for additional points must be watched out for. Moreover, Everton still has the advantage of a game postponed compared to Leeds which makes it more potential to get out of the relegation trap.
The chance to return to action for captain Liam Cooper after missing City with a knee injury could boost Leeds confidence, although the coach believes Stuart Dallas will not feature for the remainder of the season. While Arsenal cannot confirm whether Ben White can appear against his former club this weekend.
Based on the results of head-to-head meetings, Arsenal will almost certainly be able to pocket an additional three points this week if they manage to maintain the winning streak in the last three meetings with Leeds United in various competitions. Moreover, Leeds have never managed to win in the last 10 meetings against Arsenal (2 draws, 8 losses), including losing 1-4 in the first meeting this season.
