Arsenal vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Arsenal are looking to respond after Manchester City defeated Liverpool in Saturday’s early kick off to pile the pressure on the Premier League leaders.

Mikel Arteta’s men have had their lead cut to five points but can restore it back to eight if they defeat Javi Gracia’s Whites at the Emirates stadium this afternoon. Illness has kept Arsenal’s star man, Bukayo Saka, on the bench but he could play a part later in the game if the Gunners require his services but with big matches on the horizon, Saka may sit this one out.

Leeds meanwhile are hoping to propel themselves further up the table. In a close and tense relegation battle - featuring all the teams from 20th up to 12th - any points that Leeds can take away from London today will be a big boost to their chances of survival.

Leeds climbed out of the relegation zone and into 14th place in the Premier League after beating Wolves 4-2 at Molineux in their previous match. It was their second victory in four games under new boss Javi Gracia who has guided the Whites to seven points out of a possible 12 since replacing Jesse Marsch in the dugout. Despite an upturn in form, Leeds are only two points above the drop zone and need another positive result to ease any relegation fears with 11 games still to play. However, they have not won any of their last 13 games against Arsenal in all competitions (losing 11 and drawing two), with their most recent win coming in May 2003.
