Wolves have smashed in 12 goals, and they better keep on pressing and hunt for fouls, as they have a 100% success rate in converting their penalty chances. The Wolves secured the league double against Manchester City in the 2019-2020 season, but since then, the Blues have won their last five in a row against them, netting in 16 goals and conceding just three. Matheus Cunha, and Hee-Chan Hwang in the attack, alongside Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, and Matheus Nunes in the midfield.

Hello and welcome to The Athletic's live coverage of today's Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

Zinchenko flicks a pass around the corner to Xhaka in the box. Saliba was wrong-footed and the ball almost fell to Rashford in the area but Ramsdale hacked it away. His effort was well-struck but Martinez got his head in the way to make the block. To concede right at the end id gutting. "You could see how much we wanted to win we kept pushing and pushing and finally got the breakthrough. Two top teams but of course we are disappointed when you lose this game at a late stage. On the importance of transfers: "Just in terms of numbers we had 15 or 16 outfield players and it wasn't enough. But there are a lot of things that we can do much better." They are young but they are confident to do it. // It was all Arsenal in the closing stages and Martinelli, Saka and Odegaard all went close to finding a winner, before late drama ensued. Arsenal responded and minutes after Nketiah went close to an equaliser, he found one. [Marcus Rashford](https://theathletic.com/football/player/marcus-rashford-xgQlXcNj79jwXiD4/) drifted in from the left before unleashing a fine low drive that flew past Ramsdale at his near post to give United the lead.

Minute-by-minute report: Will Leeds get a much-needed win, or will Brentford continue to surge up the table? Join Alex Hess.

Love the spirit and craziness of Leeds, and Toney registered a glorious hat-trick (penalty, free-kick, long-range chip) in the reverse fixture in September and the smart money would surely be on his side coming out on top today. Thomas Frank brings in Rico Henry and Mads Roerslev, who will likely man the flanks either side of a back three. The assumes the role of teacher, scolding the both of them and sending them on their way. 12 mins: Jensen is caught dilly-dallying on the ball on the edge of his own box and as Aaronson drives into the area, he’s brought down by Norgaard. [Brentford](https://www.theguardian.com/football/brentford) attack and fizzes the ball into the feet of Rodrigo to spark a counter. and bloots it straight out of play for a goal kick. Adams and Jensen tussle for possession on the sideline and turn it into a full-on playground shoving match once the ball has gone out of play. Faced with the choice to shoot from an angle or send it square for a Toney tap-in, he opts for the latter but Koch has spotted it and lunges in to intercept at the final moment. The return pass is a touch too strong though and the attack fizzles out after he’s forced wide. A deep cross from Roerslev sails just over Toney but falls to the feet of Henry, who’s arriving into the box from the left. The striker picks out Harrison with a great first-time ball but the midfielder, with acres to run into, takes a painfully heavy touch and loses possession.

Leeds: Ilan Meslier (GK), Pascal Struijk, Maximilian Wober, Robin Koch, Luke Ayling (c), Tyler Adams, Marc Roca, Wilfried Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson, ...

Sonny Perkins arrived from West Ham and rescued Leeds in their FA Cup tie against Cardiff, earning a replay that gave Gnonto the platform for his wonder goal. In these days of heavy spending in the Premier League, investment is for the future and the possibilities of what could be. While speaking about his club record signing at Leeds United, the buzz word from Jesse Marsch was “potential”. This should be a good one, with Brentford able to leapfrog Liverpool, Fulham and Brighton to move into sixth place if they swipe their first win at Elland Road since February 2015. He clears the ball under pressure with a sigh of relief. Leeds players stuff their attacking third, all but Meslier forward. Ayling cuts forward for Harrison, who misplays the ball straight into the chest of a Brentford player. Leeds are on the run again, and Brentford look momentarily shapeless. Picking up on the left, deep in the Leeds half, Toney notices Meslier off his line, and sends in a long-range, looping attempt. Gnonto goes sniffing for Rodrigo's cross, but Pinnock scrambles to knock him out of the way. The team-mates seem to be playing a shade too close together, cluttering up the left and stymying Leeds' opportunity to get away quickly. With Ivan Toney in blistering form, and the return of Henry, it feels like a matter of time before Brentford are on the scoresheet.

The ball came to Henry in the box and he looked to square for Toney but the defender got his leg out to cut out the ball. But he can't get a cross in and the ball goes out for a goal kick. But his cross is too deep for the Brentford players in the penalty area.

Leeds starting XI: Meslier; Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk, Max Wober; Tyler Adams, Marc Roca, Brenden Aaronson; Jack Harrison, Rodrigo, Wilfried ...

However, he couldn't keep it down and it went flying over the bar. 3mins: Harrison breaks down the left-wing and tires to release Rodrigo in the box. He took is down well and hit it on the half volley from the edge of the box. The ball fell to Jensen on the edge of the box. The Leeds-man did role into the box and call for a penalty... They need to get the ball down and play it around. He tried to curl it over the wall but couldn't get it to come back down. And when I say right on the corner, I mean it couldn't be closer. Leeds have just been awarded a free-kick right on the corner of the box. Henry took the ball down on the right-hand-side of the box, drew his player in and before trying to slip it across the goal mouth to Toney. They are quick to take their throw-ins and they are closing the ball down well if they give away possession. However, Pinnock was there to collect it and fire it back into the box - hitting the cross bar on the way through.

Starting XI: Ederson, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Laporte, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (C), Mahrez, Grealish, Haaland Subs: Ortega Moreno, Walker, Dias, ...

“I won four Liga titles in Spain when I was a football player, four in a row, and the fifth was not the same and the sixth was not the same. City regroup and come again. Stones is on his knees in the penalty box before the corner is taken and the referee walks over to Semedo about something that was not quite caught on camera. Lemina gets a booking for saying something to the ref and Julen Lopetegui also gets a yellow card for his protestations. David Coote gives the free-kick to City, though and Wolves are incensed. De Bruyne swings it in but Wolves clear before City get the ball again. Can't say there have been many if any clear chances for City as Wolves get back into the game with a bit more of the ball. There have been three Wolves bookings in the space of four minutes – including for manager Julen Lopetegui. Wolves try and pass it out from the back under a lot of pressure from blue shirts. Mahrez pulls it back to De Bruyne, free on the right corner of the box, sends in a curling cross to the edge of the six-yard box and the big Norwegian is there waiting to nod powerfully in. Wolves were unhappy about a decision that went against them earlier in the phase of play... He was furious with his keeper Jose Sa for twice booting the ball aimlessly upfield and gifting possession straight back to City in quick succession.

Illan Meslier once again is in between the posts for the Whites and the Leeds United defence is made up of Wober, Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk, and Luke Ayling who is captain today. Max Wober is the only change since our last league outing, as he makes his first Premier League start for the club replacing Liam Cooper. Leeds United are back in Premier League action this afternoon as they take on Brentford following our midweek win in the FA Cup.

They destroyed the Gunners last September with a 3-1 win, courtesy of goals from Marcus Rashford and Antony. He made waves in the news by netting in two goals for Netherlands against Argentina to force the game to extra time. While both teams look composed, consistent, and well-rested into this match-up, it will certainly be a roller coaster of emotions when viewers witness a barrage of goals from both squads. A win for the visitors here will be crucial, and a defeat might make the title race a harder struggle. Since then, the Red Devils have made a nine-game winning streak, which was halted recently with a draw versus Crystal Palace. The Gunners look to maintain an undefeated record on home soil, as they have notched seven wins in a row and a draw with Newcastle United. Two rival clubs will be giving a showdown in the Emirates Stadium. League leaders Arsenal (15-2-1) look to wow the London fans in the Emirates Stadium as they face the Red Devils from Manchester United (12-3-4). If things go according to plan, Arsenal might just get its first title since the Invincibles Season last 2003-2004. The Gunners have been outstanding on both ends of the field – they possess the ball 57.3% of the time and make 15.7 total shots per game while also making game averages of 14.8 tackles and 17.1 clearances. Man United wants to gradually make a cases for a title snatch, as they are several points away from Arsenal, Man City, and Newcastle. Sunday in the English Premier League will feature two red-hot squads donning the red jerseys.

Arsenal will be looking to make major strides towards winning the Premier League when they host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

McTominay is of course the man that has been chosen to start in place of Casemiro. 2': Boos when United are on the ball. He picks the ball up on the left and megs Partey. Interestingly, Arsenal are willing to let United have the ball... The cross comes in and it falls to the forward. He's about, what, 25 yards out, but he shoots, and it dips everywhere and is placed perfectly in the corner. Gabriel is trying to get back on the line but can't keep it out. Odegaard plays in Xhaka but Martinez clears before Xhaka gets the ball. The Gunners are the ones pushing. The first one is on Zinchenko in the build-up - he's fine. The second is on Nketiah. 90 +3': Zinchenko gets in down the left and crosses low.

Check out our Leeds-Brentford prediction and pick for Sunday as we continue our Premier League odds series.

If the Bees were to win this game, they must make brilliant efforts on the defensive end. Brentford has enjoyed a steady rise to the Premier League chart, where now they sit in ninth place, following Brighton and West London rivals Fulham with just two points away and seated behind Liverpool on a 9-4 goal differential. Thomas Frank’s squad has been enjoying a highly successful season thanks to the upgrade on the offenses made by forwards Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo, and Yoane Wissa. The have Luis Sinisterra, Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson, and Jack Harrison, all who are creative in making key passes and big chances as well as straddling back to make defensive stops. Despite the unavailability of these key players, Leeds should be looking forward to this match with some profound momentum. The slate of the next Premier League games continues as Leeds United (4-5-9) hosts Brentford at Elland Road.

Weghorst has put an admirable shift in but I’d be very tempted to bring on Garnacho and put Rashford down the middle. Partey has made a few uncharacteristic mistakes today, most notably when he lost the ball twice in the build-up to Rashford’s goal and was then nutmegged. They’re not the only ones who do it, it’s true, but there is a certain entitled charmlessness to their harassing of officials in recent weeks. What they have already achieved – 50 points in the first half of the season – is pretty astonishing. But if we keep playing like that we’ll be in a good place at the end of the season. They’re the only team who have beaten us this season and we really wanted to beat them in front of our own fans. We’re all very gutted to concede late on, but it’s a bit of a reality check to where we are at the moment.

Man Utd: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Eriksen, McTominay, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst. Subs: Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, ...

The delay heightened the drama even more and added decibels to the delirious reaction when the goal was eventually confirmed. From a corner he and Tomiyasu got in each other’s way with the England international spilling the ball to Martinez seven yards out. Even so it was something special as he arrowed it from 25 yards across goal, away from De Gea and into the corner of the goal. It was marginal when Oleksandr Zinchenko crossed and even tighter when Nketiah stuck out a leg to divert a deflected effort home. It was hammer and tongs; back and forth; end to end and so it proved with the opening goals. There did not seem to be much on when he took the ball from substitute Takehiro Tomiyasu but Eriksen backed off and Saka had time and space to weigh up his shot. In the aftermath Erik ten Hag will ponder the strength of his team and he certainly had little to call on from the bench. Worryingly it was a wretched performance from his £86 million signing Antony with the Brazilian winger serenaded by gleeful chants of “what a waste of money” as he was substituted off. It felt like a throwback; back to the good old days. Although he finished up on the losing side, the contest was also summed up by the warrior-like Lisandro Martinez. We have waited a long time for these grand old clubs to deliver a match like this, and one that had such relevance in the title race, and it was one to savour. The response in N7, in a tight contest that kicked off with Arsenal’s lead cut to two points, felt like a raging inferno at times.
