Arsenal’s goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale, has urged his team to be cautious ahead of their upcoming Premier League fixtures against relegation-threatened teams. Ramsdale believes that these teams can pose a threat to the top clubs, and Arsenal needs to maintain focus and concentration against such opponents.
Leeds United could prove to be a tricky opponent for Arsenal
Ramsdale has particularly cautioned about Leeds United, who are scheduled to face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in their next fixture. Despite their contrasting fortunes this season, Ramsdale thinks Leeds could cause an upset and secure a win against his team.
Leeds recently recorded an impressive 4-2 victory against Wolves before the international break and has two wins and one draw from Javi Gracia’s first four games as their new manager.
Ramsdale understands the mindset of bottom-table teams as he has played with Bournemouth and Sheffield United in previous seasons. He said that teams fighting for survival often play with less pressure and can be dangerous when playing the big guns of the league.
