Leeds lost 7-0 to Man City in midweek
That was the hosts’ sixth loss in six meetings with the top seven
A victory over West Ham on Wednesday put Arsenal into fourth
The Gunners have beaten all of the bottom six without conceding a goal
Rough night for Leeds

With games being called off left, right and centre you imagine Leeds are wondering why their game at Man City couldn’t have been one to fall. Marcelo Bielsa unsurprisingly said there were no positives to take from their midweek 7-0 hammering at the champions, which is hard to disagree with.

The only shade of light in the hammering for Leeds’ fans is that Man United scouts reportedly made the trip across town to watch Illan Meslier in goal for the Whites. After shipping seven, that controversial move may be hold. In the short term, there’s nothing for Leeds to shout about ahead of another difficult clash this weekend.

Arsenal on a roll

It’s been a great week for Mikel Arteta, who saw his tough stance on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang vindicated as the Gunners moved fourth. A young side put West Ham to the sword, setting them up for a first top four finish since 2016.

While there’s a long way to go, but the Gunners have kicked things off this term with nine wins from 17. While they’ve been beaten in both visits to Liverpool and Manchester so far, this has the look of a more enjoyable trip north.

Leeds’ struggling to close the gap

Even after a 7-0 loss, it’s hard to see Leeds going down this season. Bielsa’s side look too strong, especially once their current injury issues pass. They are good enough to take points off most of the league, but the hosts have struggled to match the elite sides this term.

Leeds have lost all six of their meetings with the top seven so far. In that time they’ve conceded 22 times, scoring just five in return. Against the rest of the league, they’ve lost only once in 11.

It’s hard to back Leeds to get anything out of this one, especially as Arsenal have a perfect record against the bottom six. The Gunners have

里兹在周中以0比7输给曼城
这是东道主与前七强六次交锋中的第六次失利
周三战胜西汉姆联的比赛使阿森纳排名第四
枪手一球未失，击败了倒数六名球队
利兹的艰难之夜

在左路、右路和中路的比赛都被取消的情况下，你可以想象利兹联队会想，为什么他们在对阵曼城的比赛中没有输掉一场。马塞洛·贝尔萨不出所料地表示，他们在周中7-0大胜卫冕冠军的比赛中没有什么积极的方面，这一点很难否认。

对利兹球迷来说，唯一的一丝光亮是据报道曼联的球探穿过城镇去观看伊兰·梅斯利尔为白人队进球。在发行7个版本后，这一备受争议的举措可能会被搁置。在短期内，在本周末的另一场艰难的比赛之前，利兹联没有什么可以大声疾呼的。

阿森纳正处于巅峰状态

这是一个伟大的星期，米克尔阿尔特塔看到了他对皮埃尔-埃莫里克奥巴梅杨的强硬立场，枪手晋级第四。一支年轻的球队击败了西汉姆联，使他们自2016年以来首次进入前四。

尽管还有很长的路要走，但枪手已经在本赛季的17场比赛中取得了9场胜利。虽然到目前为止他们在利物浦和曼彻斯特的两场比赛中都被击败了，但这看起来是一次更加愉快的北方之旅。

利兹正在努力缩小差距

即使在以0比7输掉比赛后，我们也很难看到利兹联在这个赛季会走下坡路。贝尔萨的球队看起来太强大了，特别是一旦他们目前的伤病问题过去。他们的实力足以在大部分联赛中得分，但主队本赛季很难与精英球队相匹敌。

到目前为止，利兹联队已经输掉了与前七名的六场比赛。在这段时间里，他们共失球22次，只进5球。在与联盟其他球队的比赛中，他们在11场比赛中只输过一次。

在这场比赛中，我们很难支持利兹联取得任何成绩，尤其是在阿森纳对阵倒数六名的比赛中，他们有着完美的记录。枪手已经
