The Gunners, who are champions, won their opening four league games of the season before suffering a 3-0 defeat away at Brighton before the international break, which will have hurt morale.

Ahead of the clash, the teamsheets have been revealed as manager Mikel Arteta makes some huge calls in his side.

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Odegaard, Madueke; Havertz

Subs: Kepa, Hincapie, Eze, Timber, Gyokeres, Merino, Zubimendi, Guimaraes, Dowman

Meanwhile, Leeds line up with the likes of:

Leeds XI: Trafford; Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Stach, Gudmundsson; Okafor, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Zetterer, Bard, Bijol, Gruev, Longstaff, Aaronson, Wilson, Bahoya, Nmecha

Havertz has been passed fit since suffering a thigh injury whilst on duty for Germany, while Rice also returns after pulling out of the England squad.

Interestingly, Arsenal lead the overall head-to-head record with 55 wins to Leeds’ 41, while the other 33 meetings have ended all square.

A win is imperative for Arteta whose side must try to catch league leaders Manchester City who sit three points clear at the top heading into game week six.
