Seaman tips Leeds for survival
David Seaman - despite graduating from the Whites’ academy - is rooting for Arsenal to claim three points today. However, the ex-England goalkeeper has backed Leeds to survive Premier League relegation.
“I feel that the way that it’s going on the relegation side of the table, even a defeat for Leeds – they can manage that,” Seaman said on his podcast. “It’s the three points for Arsenal, I don’t want to upset a few Leeds fans, but I’m sure you’ll understand me. This is a chance for Arsenal to win the league.

“Leeds aren’t going to go down, but I’m sorry but this weekend I’m desperate for the points to go to Arsenal, I’m going on the red side of my scarf I’m afraid.”
Marsch breaks silence
Jesse Marsch has broken his silence on his Leeds sacking more than seven weeks after he was removed from his position. He said: “I've taken some time out for myself over the last couple of months and it's been a good chance to reflect on aspects of life while in Leeds.
“I'm very proud of our achievements, like staying up in 21-22, and when I look back on my time at Leeds I'll think of that with great pride. I'm also grateful to have worked with a great group of players and staff and to have met some fantastic people in Yorkshire. I'm taking some time to consider the right next step, but until then, I'll be enjoying time with family and friends.”

Heavy defeat expected
The experts think Leeds will taste defeat at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon. Former Arsenal winger Paul Merson said: "If City win their match against Liverpool, Arsenal have to win this game.
“They've been outstanding this season. Fulham gave United a run for their money this month, and they were battered by Arsenal. That's how dominant Mikel Arteta's side has been this season.
"Leeds are not going to hold back and play ten men behind the ball. They're going to have a go and I expect them to score a goal, but I don't think they'll keep it tight at the back.”
BBC pundit Chris Sutton added: "I certainly don't see this as being straightforward for Arsenal but the Gunners are on this marvellous run of six successive league wins since they lost to Manchester City in February.
“They always seem to find a way of getting the right result. Arsenal will create lots of chances and I don't see Leeds keeping them out."
