Arsenal can increase their gap over Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the North London Derby with a win at the Emirates Stadium against Leeds United this weekend. Mikel Arteta's side sit just one point ahead of Spurs after their arch-rivals drew 1-1 with title hopefuls Liverpool at Anfield and with the derby just days away, the Gunners can increase their lead to four points in the top four race.
The Gunners are the favourites for this Premier League clash at 2/5 with bookies Betfred while Leeds are 6/1 and a draw is 19/5. The hosts are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings with Leeds in all competitions with nine wins and two draws since losing 3-2 at home in May 2003.
Three consecutive league wins over Chelsea, Man United and West Ham has put Arsenal in pole position to finish fourth over their league rivals and with Spurs failing to win at Anfield, they now have the perfect opportunity to give themselves some breathing space. Their record against Leeds speak for itself but they must get the job done.
