Arsenal vs Leeds United – LIVE!
Arsenal welcome Leeds to the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League for the first time ever this afternoon.
The last time the Gunners hosted Leeds in a top-flight fixture they were still playing at Highbury, with the Yorkshire side relegated in 2004 and the Emirates opening two years later.
How Arsenal fans long for the Highbury years at the moment. A mini-revival following the Boxing Day win over Chelsea has stalled in the past fortnight, with a goalless draw against Manchester United followed by back-to-back defeats in the Midlands, against Wolves and Aston Villa.

Mikel Arteta’s side face a Europa League clash with Benfica on Thursday – a match that looks increasingly important – but this afternoon’s game at least represents a chance to move back into the top half of the table.
Leeds are in good form, having won three of their last four in the league, an encouraging run for a team whose impressive campaign has been marred by inconsistency at times.
Arsenal predicted lineup: (4-2-3-1) Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Saka; Ceballos, Xhaka; Pepe, Odegaard, Aubemayang; Lacazette.
