Arsenal XI vs Leeds: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League game today

Arsenal have Gabriel Jesus back for today’s Premier League encounter with Leeds at Elland Road.

The Brazilian needed lengthy treatment on the pitch in the win over Liverpool after being caught by an elbow from Kostas Tsimikas, and did not train earlier in the week as a precaution before staying at home as the Gunners beat Bodo/Glimt in Norway.

However, Jesus is available after the midweek rest and leads the line as Arsenal look to extend their winning run to seven matches in all competitions.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is out as he continues to battle with a calf injury, while Emile Smith Rowe (groin) and Mohamed Elneny (hamstring) are longer-term absentees.

Mikel Arteta has opted to keep faith with Takehiro Tomiyasu, who impressed, against Mohamed Salah last week, as he starts at left-back with Kieran Tierney on the bench.

Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka come back into the side after starting on the bench in Europe, along with Gabriel Martinelli in what is a settled first-choice front three for the Gunners.

It was a quiet night for both Fabio Vieira and Eddie Nketiah in Norway, with the pair having to settle for places on the bench once again in the Premier League.
