Arsenal uneasy but Gunners duo rated clear main threat in Leeds United clash

Mikel Areta's side are fairly strong favourites to take all three points though uneasy in the market and now available at 13-10 having been shorter earlier in the week.

Leeds can be backed at 9-4 with the draw on offer at 14-5.

But the Gunners have the clear front two in the first goalscorer market with last season's joint runner-up in the Golden Boot race Aubameyang 4-1 to score first and 23-20 any time.

Laczaette is 5s to net first and 13-8 any time with Whites no 9 Patrick Bamford third in the betting at 6s first scorer and 15-8 any time.

Former Whites loanee Eddie Nketiah is next at 6s to open the scoring followed by record Whites signing Rodrigo at 15-2 and Arsenal's Pepe at 17-2.

Given the possibility of one of them potentially starting in the absence of Pablo Hernandez, Tyler Roberts (15-2) and Raphinnha (10s) might warrant interest, along with Mateusz Klich (11s), Helder Costa (13s) and and Jack Harrison (14s) with the latter looking a particularly big price with Harrison also 5-1 as an any time scorer.

Willian (10s), Reiss Nelson (11s) and Joe Willock (12s) are seen as other big Gunners threats while rapidly rising England star Bukayo Saka looks a big price at 14s to net first and 5s any time

Both teams to score is not surprisingly short at 3-5 with a 1-1 draw favourite in the correct score market at 7s, followed by a 2-1 triumph for Arsenal at 9s and then 1-0 Gunners win at 10s.

A 2-1 victory for the Whites is 11s with a 1-0 verdict for the hosts on offer 12s, the same price as a 2-2 draw.

From United's point of view, keeping Aubameyang and Lacazette at bay seems likely to be key with the market reflecting that point.
