"Expecting an open game". Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Arsenal vs Leeds United

Arsenal will host Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday, February 14. The Gunners will be looking forward to bouncing back from the defeats against Wolves and Aston Villa. Meanwhile, ahead of the trip to Emirates, Leeds celebrated a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "When these two sides met at Elland Road in November, Arsenal had Nicolas Pepe sent off and, despite Leeds creating a bucketload of chances and hitting the woodwork three times, it ended up as the only goalless draw Marcelo Bielsa's side have had in 24 games in all competitions this season. "There will be goals this time, though, I am sure of it. Leeds were too good for Crystal Palace on Monday, while Arsenal have been hard done by to lose both of their past two games, against Wolves and Aston Villa. "I'm expecting an open game and I'm going with the Gunners to edge it, although they will have to keep 11 players on the pitch if they want to take the three points." Lawrenson's score prediction: 2-1  source - BBC
