Mansion Sports – The league leaders versus Leeds United will be featured in the upcoming Premier League 2025/2026 fixture, as Arsenal attempt to end their negative trend in away matches against the side managed by Daniel Farke.

The meeting between Leeds United and Arsenal presents an intriguing narrative involving two teams with contrasting objectives.

The match is scheduled to take place at Elland Road on Saturday, 31 January 2026 at 15.00 local time.

Below are the recommendations from Mansion Sports regarding where to watch Leeds United vs Arsenal January 2026 so as not to miss the exciting action.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Leeds United

Speaking of painful second halves, the Leeds supporters were momentarily in dreamland at halftime at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where a goal from James Justin gave The Whites the lead over David Moyes’ Everton.

However, Farke’s side—who had previously defeated Derby County and Fulham before traveling to Merseyside—were forced to settle for the end of their pursuit of a third consecutive victory in all competitions, after in-form forward Thierno Barry equalized for Everton in the final 15 minutes.

Nevertheless, every point remains valuable in Leeds’ battle to avoid relegation, as they currently sit in 16th place and hold a six-point advantage over the relegation zone, largely due to their impressive home form.

The Whites have suffered only two home defeats in the Premier League this season, remain unbeaten in five matches since a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in November, and have scored in 10 of their 11 league matches at Elland Road throughout the 2025–26 season.

Leeds failed to score in their most recent home match against Arsenal, a 1-0 defeat in October 2022, while Arsenal’s emphatic 5-0 victory at the Emirates marked the Gunners’ sixth consecutive league win over Saturday’s hosts.

Regarding squad conditions on the Leeds side, Farke may receive a fitness boost, as Gabriel Gudmundsson (adductor) and Daniel James (thigh) are both potential returnees for the match against the league leaders.

However, defender Jaka Bijol is expected to be sidelined for approximately one month due to a thigh injury, meaning Sebastiaan Bornauw is likely to retain his place in the hosts’ 3-5-2 system, which is anticipated to pose significant difficulties for Arteta and his team.

After recording goals in six consecutive matches between November and December, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has now scored just once in his last five Premier League appearances, and the 28-year-old striker has also not found the net against Arsenal since 2020.

Arsenal

Whether due to a congested schedule, recurring issues resurfacing, or opponents discovering renewed energy, several cracks have begun to appear in Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge.

As occurred in 2021 when Michael Carrick masterminded a 3-2 Manchester United comeback at Old Trafford, the interim Red Devils manager repeated a similar feat at the Emirates last weekend, as both the red and blue halves of the city celebrated.

Although the goals from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha may rank among the best of the season, Arsenal’s 0.39 Expected Goals from open play illustrates a side that once again appears promising in the build-up phase but lacks tangible end results, a recurring narrative over approximately the last 18 months.

Victories for Manchester City and Aston Villa prior to Arsenal’s defeat have reduced the Gunners’ lead at the top of the table to four points.

Despite still sharing the best away record in the league, only two of their last six Premier League away matches have ended in victory. Mikel Arteta’s side at least returned to winning ways with a 3-2 victory over Kairat in the Champions League on Wednesday, securing a perfect record to close out the league phase. However, the second half once again proved to be an offensively frustrating spectacle for the Emirates supporters.

Meanwhile, regarding squad conditions for the visitors, William Saliba and Jurrien Timber were unavailable during Arsenal’s win over Kairat due to minor fitness issues, but neither is believed to have suffered a serious injury and both are expected to be ready for Saturday’s match.

In addition, Declan Rice and Mikel Merino return from suspension to further strengthen Arteta’s squad, leaving 16-year-old Max Dowman, who is dealing with an ankle injury, as the likely only absentee at Elland Road.

Most of the starters from Wednesday night are expected to be replaced by the regular first-choice lineup, but after registering one goal and one assist in an impressive 45-minute appearance, Kai Havertz has clearly enhanced his chances of earning his first Premier League start of the season.
