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

Arsenal have made one change to their starting lineup for today’s Premier League clash with Leeds.

That alteration comes in defence, where Nuno Tavares drops to the bench as Cedric Soares starts at left-back.

Ben White is still absent for Arsenal, meawhile. The England defender has not trained properly this week and also missed last Sunday’s win at West Ham with a hamstring issue.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was hoping White could train on Saturday and then return to the squad for today’s visit of struggling Leeds to the Emirates Stadium.
