While they have won just one of their 12 away games, they have frequently found an extra gear to get them over the line in front of their own supporters.
Leeds have lost only twice at Elland Road all season and beaten Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Everton, as well as picking up draws against Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle.
Arsenal out of sync as pressure builds
Arsenal do at least have some good memories of matches against Leeds, the most recent of which was a 5–0 win at the Emirates Stadium back in August.
Even at Elland Road, the Gunners have won four and drawn two of the previous six meetings.
Still, it is clear the balance is not quite right for Arsenal at the moment. Against Liverpool and Forest, they were arguably a little too cautious, whereas in the loss to United they never really felt in control of the game.
There has been plenty of focus on the forwards given their recent issues. Since the turn of the year, none of Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Noni Madueke nor Leandro Trossard have scored a Premier League goal.
But what kind of service are they getting? In recent years, Arsenal’s main creative force has been captain Martin Odegaard. Lately, he has been well below his best too.
Speaking after the defeat to United, Odegaard said that “obviously” the team’s three successive runners-up finishes were a factor in this title race. While the captain will need to showcase leadership during this trying spell, an uplift in his own performances on the pitch would undoubtedly help to calm nerves.
