Arsenal host unbeaten Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, October 10, as the Premier League resumes after the international break. The Gunners are looking to respond to a 3–0 defeat at Brighton, while Leeds arrive fifth in the table with nine points from five matches.
Arsenal Look to Respond After Brighton Defeat
The loss to Brighton ended Arsenal’s perfect start to the league season. Mikel Arteta’s side will now try to recover at home, but several players are dealing with fitness concerns. Kai Havertz and Ezri Konsa are doubts after picking up problems on international duty. Declan Rice withdrew from England’s squad for load management, and Arteta said he hoped the midfielder would be available. Martin Ødegaard has returned to action after an ankle knock.
Leeds Aim to Extend Unbeaten Run
Daniel Farke’s Leeds have made a strong start, recording two wins and three draws in their first five league games. They will be without Joe Rodon, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Daniel James and Mateo Joseph are also unavailable. Arsenal have won their last eight meetings with Leeds across competitions, including both league fixtures last season.

Arsenal: David Raya; Jurrien Timber, Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel Magalhães, Riccardo Calafiori; Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly; Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Eberechi Eze; Viktor Gyökeres.
