History of the Arsenal v Leeds United fixture

Arsenal prepare to entertain Leeds United at Highbury on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Gunners are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 14 of the 57 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highbury was less than a year ago, in May 2003, with Leeds Utd. inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Gunners in a Premiership match.
