Mark Lawrenson, the BBC Match of the Day pundit, is confident that Leeds United are "good enough to give Arsenal a test" when the two sides meet in Monday night's FA Cup third-round clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Leeds, who have won the FA Cup once in their history, defeating Arsenal 1-0 in the 1972 final, will make the trip to the capital as underdogs, even though you can guarantee head coach Marcelo Bielsa will have gone into great depth in his preparation work.
It will be the first time that the two sides will have met each other since January 2012, when the Gunners ran out 1-0 winners, once again at the third-round stage of this competition.
Penning his prediction for the game on the BBC Sport website , Lawrenson said: "I love watching Leeds play and they are good enough to give Arsenal a test too.
"But they have seen previous promotion challenges fade in the second half of the season and I don't think Marcelo Bielsa will want a cup run.
"Leeds will still come and have a go at Emirates Stadium, but I don't think they will do it with their first XI."
As for the scoreline prediction itself, Lawrenson has backed Mikel Arteta's side to come through it, edging a 2-0 win.
