Full Arsenal squad revealed for Leeds United amid William Saliba injury confirmation

Arsenal take on Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium in another huge Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners head into the final two months of the season eight points clear of Manchester City, though Pep Guardiola's side do have a game-in-hand. City face a tricky encounter today, hosting Liverpool in the day's early kick-off.

Should City drop any points, the north Londoners could stretch their lead at the top of the table with victory over Leeds. The Whites are 14th in the league, only two points above the relegation zone.

Javi Gracia's side come to the capital on the back of a much-needed victory over fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers. Goals from Jack Harrison, Luke Ayling, Rasmus Kristensen and Rodrigo handed Leeds only their sixth win of the season.

In a fixture that bookmakers make Arsenal the favourites, Mikel Arteta will have a number of selection issues to contend with. Defender William Saliba will miss the game, football.london understands, after suffering an injury before the international break.

The Frenchman joins Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny as confirmed absentees. There is also a concern regarding the fitness of Thomas Partey, who missed Ghana's game with Angolo though the midfielder did train at London Colney.

Here's full squad that Arteta has to choose from against Leeds:

Goalkeepers: Aaron Ramsdale, Matt Turner, James Hillson.

Defenders: Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, Rob Holding, Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kieran Tierney.

Midfielders: Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, Fabio Vieira, Jorginho, Granit Xhaka.

Forwards: Gabriel Jesus, Emile Smith Rowe, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard.
