"Arsenal arrived at Elland Road last weekend under scrutiny. Without a win in three Premier League matches, scoreless in two of those, and pushed to the edge by bottom‑placed Kairat in Europe, many expected another stumble against an improving Leeds United. Instead, Mikel Arteta's men delivered a ruthless response. Despite losing makeshift striker Mikel Merino and star winger Bukayo Saka to injury before kickoff, the Gunners produced a sensational 4-0 dismantling of the Whites."
"The London side also kept their quadruple hopes alive in midweek. Their EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea lacked entertainment, but Kai Havertz's stoppage‑time tap‑in secured a 1-0 victory and a trip to Wembley. Arsenal now target a fourth straight win in all competitions and a new Premier League milestone: they are unbeaten in 43 consecutive home matches against newly promoted sides, equalling Chelsea's competition record from 2001 to 2015."
Arsenal return to the Emirates confident after a 4-0 win at Leeds and a stoppage‑time victory over Chelsea that secured an EFL Cup final place. The Gunners sit six points clear in the Premier League and chase a fourth straight victory while equalling the record of 43 unbeaten home matches against newly promoted teams. Injuries to Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka have increased squad concerns, with Merino's foot problem possibly season-ending and Saka's hip issue unlikely to clear up in time. Sunderland still harbour hopes of a late push toward European qualification.
