Leeds United are back in action this afternoon as they host Premier League leaders Arsenal at Elland Road.

Jesse Marsch’s men have picked up just two points in their last five games and really need a result and a performance today.

Illan Meslier starts in goal once again for Leeds behind a back four of Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk.

Tyler Adams partners Marc Roca in midfield with Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra further forward.

Rodrigo will then lead the attack with the Spaniard getting the nod over Patrick Bamford.

Bamford does make the bench, joining Kristoffer Klaesson, Luke Ayling, Junior Firpo, Diego Llorente, Mateusz Klich, Crysencio Summerville, Sam Greenwood and Joe Gelhardt.

Arsenal will be looking to make it nine wins from 10 games in the Premier League and go with the same team that beat Liverpool last weekend.

That means Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal behind a four-man defence of Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Thomas Partey will protect the back four with Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka further forward.

Gabriel Jesus is passed fit to start for Arsenal today with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the flanks.

Former Leeds loanee Eddie Nketiah is only on the bench, joining Matt Turner, Kieran Tierney, Cedric Soares, Rob Holding, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson and Marquinhos.
