SI Football Forecast

Leeds are a tough nut to crack at Elland Road and Arsenal have shown cracks recently. However, the return of Rice and Saliba restores the backbone to Arteta’s team. The need to win so as not to put the lead at risk should propel the visitors to a hard-fought but vital victory.
