Arsenal travel to Elland Road with the chance to go four points clear at the top with a win over Leeds United.
A win against Leeds would stretch Arsenal’s lead at the top to four points before Manchester City play Jurgen Klopp’s Reds in the same afternoon. Gabriel Jesus’ presence in the starting line-up is a massive boost after he missed the midweek game, although it was always suspected it would be due to rest. Without the chance of a training session, it is for the best this is the case. Brenden Aaronson returns to the middle and Ben White and William Saliba will have to deal with Jack Harrison. Welcome to live coverage of Arsenal's Premier League match against Leeds United at Elland Road. Jesse Marsch has used his Red Bull connections to bring in Brendan Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen and Tyler Adams from Salzburg and Leipzig.

Also worthy of note is the presence of local lad, Kobby Mainoo on the bench – he looks a ridiculous talent, an all-round midfielder with beautiful balance, skill and weight of pass. Meanwhile, we should see a belter at the aforementioned – its first league fixture in six weeks. I really like what I’ve seen of him, and I’d love to see him get on the pitch for a proper stretch today. I didn’t expect the former to play today, but he did well after coming off the bench in midweek and perhaps his possession-heavy style is thought more suitable for the way Ten Hag wants his team to play in this game. Only drawback is there would probably only be six or seven of him left on the pitch by the end of the game.” “He wore every shirt from 1 to 12, in the days they meant something in terms of position, except for 11.” I think they’re all decent players, and Ben White in particular is doing a terrific job at right-back given he isn’t really one. He goes off and his mates clear the corner, but I think he’ll be fine. Villa are playing well and Bailey diddles Chilwell then crosses well from the right and Ings makes a decent flying connection, only for the keeper to tip away! The players are now being taken off with fans told there’s a “powercut”. Of course, we all want to see the game go ahead and Leeds to win (Spurs fan here) but it would asking for trouble, as well as legal minefield should the result affect the relegation battle at the end of the season.” At least that’s what I think the commentators mean by the need for a ‘level playing field’ which I would’ve assumed otherwise would be rather a given.”

Luis Sinisterra returns from suspension to bolster Marsch's attacking options after he was sent off in the 0-0 draw against Aston Villa.
