Arsenal travel to Elland Road on Saturday, aiming to end their longest winless league run of the season.
Mikel Arteta’s side has moved through a difficult domestic period in recent weeks. The Gunners have claimed only two points from their last three matches. However, a perfect Champions League campaign has provided a major boost to squad morale. Arsenal currently hold a four-point advantage at the summit of the table. A win today is essential to keep their title rivals at arm’s length.
Arsenal Team News
Mikel Arteta manages a squad bolstered by the return of several senior figures. Notably, William Saliba and Jurriën Timber have recovered from minor knocks. Both defenders should return straight to the starting lineup this afternoon. Mikel Merino and Declan Rice are also available after missing midweek European action. Consequently, the manager has a much stronger deck to choose from for this trip.
David Raya will continue in goal behind a settled central defensive partnership. William Saliba remains the vital cog in the league’s best defence. In midfield, Declan Rice is set to make his 300th Premier League appearance today. Martin Ødegaard is expected to captain the side and pull the strings from the centre. Gabriel Jesus is likely to lead the attack alongside Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard.
