Arsenal play host to Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium with both clubs having made a winning start to the new Premier League season. The Gunners claimed all three points in their uninspiring 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on opening weekend, while Leeds triumphed by the same scoreline against Everton.

Mikel Arteta’s side turned in a performance far from what Gunners fans have become accustomed to at the home of their historic rivals, but that didn’t matter as they got off the mark at the first time of asking. Likewise, the Whites were arguably a touch fortunate to overcome the Toffees after James Tarkowski’s contentious handball in the box was punished by Lukas Nmecha, who scored from the spot.

The newly-promoted side will now face their first big test of the season against a club they haven’t beaten in over 22 years. Mirror Football are on hand with all of the vital information ahead of this evening Saturday Night Football clash.

Mikel Arteta had an almost-fully fit squad to choose from against Manchester United with only Gabriel Jesus absent due to a long-term injury. However, the Brazilian is set to be joined on the sidelines by Kai Havertz who has since picked up a knee injury.

It is not yet known how much action the German will miss but it leaves Arteta without one of his key attackers. The surprise injury has seen the Gunners into nearing a move for Eberechi Eze, who had been close to joining Tottenham Hotspur

Daniel Farke had the luxury of a fully fit squad for his side’s win against Everton and is set to welcome new signing Jaka Bijol to the team after the Slovenian served a one-match ban against the Toffees.

The 26-year-old was signed by the Whites this summer for a reported fee of £15million but was unable to take part in the opening match of the season after he was sent off for Udinese against Sampdoria in the final Serie A game of last season.
