Arsenal vs Leeds United prediction, preview, team news and more | League Cup 2021-22
Arsenal host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Despite their slow start to the campaign, Arsenal have hit form recently and are currently on a seven-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Mikel Arteta's side will be going into the game off the back of a 3-1 win against Aston Villa last time out. The Gunners should be confident of getting a win against Leeds United on Tuesday.
Leeds United, on the other hand, have been woeful this season and have only won two games throughout the campaign.
Marcelo Bielsa's side were lucky to reach this stage of the competition, having beaten Fulham on penalties in the previous round. They will hope their luck carries into the game against an in-form Arsenal side on Tuesday.
