Arsenal: 43 league matches in the bank, 5 from this season and the rest from last season. Leeds United: 43 league matches in the bank, 5 from this season and the rest from last season.
The question this step asks
Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.
The two sides
Arsenal -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 0, lost 0 of 2, scoring 5 and conceding 1. Last season at home: won 15, drew 2, lost 2 of 19, scoring 41 and conceding 11 -- 2.47 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Brighton & Hove Albion 0-3 away; beat Sunderland 2-0 away; beat Chelsea 2-1 at home; beat Aston Villa 1-0 away; beat Coventry City 3-0 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 43 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Mikel Arteta Amatriain. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Leeds United -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 0 of 2, scoring 2 and conceding 1. Last season away: won 2, drew 9, lost 8 of 19, scoring 20 and conceding 35 -- 0.79 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Crystal Palace 0-0 at home; beat Newcastle United 4-1 at home; drew with Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 away; drew with Brentford 1-1 at home; beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 43 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Daniel Farke. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
