Our panel look ahead to United's trip to Arsenal

It is in attack which is the weakest link. Farke may choose to make changes here

Following a great performance and result against Everton, Leeds United now face a much sterner test.

The three new signings who started on Monday all performed in line with, or above expectations and I now expect the rest of the signings to be drip fed into the starting lineup when circumstances permit or dictate. The rhythm of the team was maintained by making so few changes.

I would not expect any defensive or midfield changes against Arsenal apart from a replacement for the injured Ethan AmpaduPascal Struijk was comfortable and Jaka Bijol will have to bide his time for an opportunity.

Likewise, the midfield functioned superbly with Anton Stach adding tenacity, quality and a goal threat compared to last season-qualities we need in the Premier League.

It is in attack which is the weakest link. Daniel Farke may choose to make changes heremaybe "defensive" based changes to counter Arsenal's threats.

The Gunners were not at their best in their opening game and I expect them to improve when at home. Leeds will need a top performance to get anything from this game, although the three points already bagged will cover a poor result on Saturday.

Prediction: Arsenal 2 Leeds United 0.

The Premier League season is now well underway and, having beaten 1-0 Everton on Monday night, this weekend's trip to the Emirates Stadium will be light work.

After all, Arsenal's team features former Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres, ex-Peterborough defender Ben White, and an old Blackburn goalkeeper in David Raya.

They're hardly a team of mega stars, are they?
