Arsenal make their long-awaited return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Leeds United to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners sit eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, but could see that gap reduced down to five before they kick off against the Whites, with Pep Guardiola's side in action at midday.
The first game back from the international break sees City take on Liverpool in a clash that has slightly less significant ramifications than usual. In recent seasons, City and Liverpool have been the two main teams challenging for the title, but Mikel Arteta's side have replaced Jurgen Klopp's men in that position and will be hoping the latter can do them a significant favour.
Heading into the fixture, there are some injury concerns for the Gunners, most notably regarding William Saliba. The Frenchman came off with a back problem against Sporting CP earlier this month and has not returned since, with Arteta confirming his unavailability for the weekend in his pre-match press conference.
