Arsenal face Leeds United in their first Premier League match of the new season at the Emirates Stadium. After an opening weekend victory at Manchester United, Mikel Arteta and his side will be desperate to get back to North London and play in front of their own fans, and it could kick off what has been known as ‘Pep roulette’ for Manchester City, but with so many options, this now could be the case for the Arsenal manager.
The week has been a rollercoaster without a game so far as news of Kai Havertz’s injury rocked the club for the second time in a year, but the mood soon lifted with news that Arsenal had agreed a deal to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. While the player has not been registered in time for the game, he is hoped to be in attendance.
We could get a glimpse at who his competition in the side might be beyond the obvious Martin Odegaard, although there is a view Eze could play wide left for Arsenal. With that in mind, football.london takes us through who we believe will start the match.
