Leeds United host league leaders Arsenal at Elland Road on Saturday while they seek to maintain their impressive home form.
The Whites have moved clear of the drop zone following a transformation in results. Manager Daniel Farke has turned his side into a high-pressing machine in 2026. Leeds have lost just once in their last 11 games across all competitions. While Arsenal decimated them earlier this season, the Yorkshire side is now far more resilient. A victory tonight would secure a historic milestone against the league leaders.
Leeds United Team News
Daniel Farke manages a squad with several late fitness concerns for this clash. Notably, Lukas Nmecha is unavailable due to a hamstring injury. Defender Jaka Bijol also misses out with a thigh problem. Gabriel Gudmundsson faces a late fitness test after picking up an adductor issue. Consequently, Farke may stick with the players who secured a point at Everton.
Karl Darlow is expected to start in goal for the hosts. Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk will lead a three-man defensive unit tonight. In midfield, Anton Stach and Ethan Ampadu should provide the necessary defensive cover. Brenden Aaronson will lead the attack alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Calvert-Lewin remains a vital focal point for the Leeds offensive system.
Leeds United Predicted Lineup
Leeds United predicted XI: Darlow; Rodon, Struijk, Bornauw; Bogle, Gruev, Stach, Ampadu, Justin; Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin
