In a game for the FA CUP, Arsenal will meet Leeds on Emirates.
Although the game looks a bit like David against Goliath, let’s not forget how Leeds eliminated Manchester United last year with 1:0 on Old Trafford.
Current shape of both teams is pretty similar although they play in different levels of the English football league. Arsenal is currently 3rd in Premier League with 40 points in 21 games, record W12 D4 L5. Leeds are 5th in the Championship, with 41 points in 26 games, record W11 D8 L7.
Leeds also has quite an achievement against Arsenal, since Wenger is a manager; they are the only team to win away on Arsenal under his command, back in 1997.
But that’s not all Leeds is unbeaten in the last 3 away matches in the cup against Premier League teams.

The last 4 games against Leeds and Arsenal have ended draw for the Cup, and then a victory on home turf let’s one of the teams to advance. In addition only one of the last seven matches has ended as a home victory, while five of those have ended as away victories.
While Arsenal has never lost a game in the FA Cup to a lower league team, since Wenger has been a manager, over 22 games , they have been taken 5 times to replay the match.
The surprise outcomes of this game, Draw and Away Victory are rewarding, priced at 5.50 and 9.50.
Backing Arsenal here is probably logical, yet completely useless if you are looking to make some cash. The odds of 1.28 just don’t seem enough, but a handicap of -1.5 will boost them to 1.80
There have been at least exactly 5 goals in the last 5 games between Arsenal and Leeds. I am willing to take a risk here and back instead of Over 2.5 goals which is only priced at 1.47 the Over 3.5 Goals and hope that both teams will remain loyal to their statistics. On top of that seems like Arsenal does well at home scoring at least 2 goals per game in all competitions, until this weeks 0:0 draw against City.
