Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has warned teammates not to underestimate Leeds United.

Leeds are battling against the drop as they face the Premier League leaders this weekend.

But Ramsdale warned: If anything, you have to be more careful that you don't take it for granted.

You see what Bournemouth did, and I don't even think we took that for granted. You can be bottom of the table or second and you can score goals against anyone or beat anyone in this league. We've seen that with big teams dropping points.

So with these games, it's more about your concentration and your preparation and then hopefully on the pitch you take care of the performance."

The England keeper also reasoned: There was more freedom when I was down at the bottom playing against the bigger teams. I wouldn't say it was a 'free hit' but when you're playing against someone who's in and around you, it's a big-pressure game.

It's normally a game which has got less quality in because teams are nervous and don't want to make a mistake. But then they could come here to the Emirates and say: 'We're going to have a good go and see what happens'.

Also they could get to 0-0 after 60 minutes and then just sit in and defend for your life. So the 'free hit' phrase is not one I like using."
