Arsenal host newly-promoted Leeds United at the Emirates for their first home Premier League match of the season. Both teams won their openers, Arsenal 1-0 at Manchester United and Leeds 1-0 against Everton via a controversial penalty. Arsenal extended an unbeaten run versus the traditional 'Big Six' to 22 matches and hold a long unbeaten home record against promoted clubs. Leeds aim to end seven successive London defeats and seek a first win over Arsenal since 2003. Arsenal face key absences including Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, while Leeds are missing Ethan Ampadu.
Arsenal welcome newly-promoted Leeds United to the Emirates on Saturday evening for their first home game of the new Premier League season. Both sides made winning starts last weekend - Mikel Arteta's men snatching a 1-0 win away at Manchester United, while Daniel Farke's side edged Everton by the same scoreline thanks to a controversial penalty. The Gunners were far from convincing at Old Trafford but extended their unbeaten run against the Premier League's traditional 'Big Six' to 22 matches.
Arsenal's preparations were hit with another setback when Kai Havertz suffered a knee injury in training this week, ruling him out for the foreseeable future. New signing Eberechi Eze will arrive from Crystal Palace but is not expected to debut just yet. Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined with an ACL injury, while Ben White and Christian Norgaard will undergo late fitness checks.
