Goal! Leeds 0-2 Arsenal. Noni Madueke’s corner flies into the net past keeper Karl Darlow and a crowded box at the near post as the Gunners double their lead. I believe it is Arsenal’s seventh own goal of the season. No wonder the 3,000 travelling Gooners sing: ‘Set Piece FC’

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!!!!

You to have credit Noni Madueke's work down the flank after an excellent cross into the box for Zubimendi to head home past Leeds keeper Darlow. And to think to wasn't even in the starting XI until Bukayo Saka's late withdrawal after picking up an injury in the warm-up

Martin Zubimendi’s header puts the Gunners ahead on 27 minutes here at Elland Road after a sustained spell of pressure

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!!!!

Leeds fans sing: "Second again ole ole ole' to the travelling Gooners here at Elland Road

Martin Zubiumendi has a weak shot on 14 minute that Leeds keeper Karl Darlow gathers easily

Amid a thunderous atmosphere captain Ethan Ampadu unleashed a stringing drive that flew narrowly over Raya’s bar after 11 minutes

Captain for the afternoon Saka ‘picked up something in the warm-up’ with Noni Madueke replacing the Arsenal attacker shortly before the start.

And we're off for Leeds vs Arsenal at raucous Elland Road

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on picking Kai Havertz to start against Leeds. "It has been a long time, but he [Kai Havertz] looked good. With the type of game we expected, we decided to go with him."

Fun fact (or definitely not as is the case..) Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Noni Madueke or Leandro Trossard have scored a Premier League goal in 2026

Thought Kai Havertz linked better with Viktor Gyokeres than anyone in red and white this season so far during his 45 minutes vs Kairat Almaty in midweek. Can Havertz be the catalyst to unleash Arsenal’s Swedish striker’s potential here at Elland Road

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice speaking to Sky Sports said: "One of the best stadiums in the country, the fans are incredible and we know what to expect. They have been unbelievable of late and it's going to be a really tough game, but in this league there are no easy games and we are going to be ready to put on a performance."

A massive game coning up for Mikel Arteta's Gunners. Win and Arsenal move seven points clear ahead of City and Villa's games against the Lilywhites and the Bees. Lose and the gap at the top could be down to one point by the end of the weekend. However, this Arsenal side have character. Let's see it today in the bear pit that is Elland Road
