Mikel Arteta has revealed the extent of issues facing Arsenal ahead of their brilliant 4-1 win against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table ahead of reigning champions Manchester City.
Gabriel Jesus scored twice in his first Premier League start since November after coming in to replace Bukayo Saka in the starting XI. Ben White left the Gunners' warm-up early as concerns about a potential injury circulated before he returned to the pitch to score a key goal in the game and complete the full 90 minutes.
Granit Xhaka scored his second goal in as many games to secure the three points as Arsenal responded to City's win against Liverpool in the early kick-off. Arteta's side continue to defy expectations heading into the final nine games of the season, but injuries and illness threaten to derail their title challenge.
