With or without Eberechi Eze pulling the creative strings, Arsenal host newly-promoted Leeds United on Saturday evening, in their opening home game of the new Premier League campaign.

Team News:

• Gabriel Jesus is injured and will not be in action for Arsenal. Christian Norgaard, Ben White and Kai Havertz might also miss out due to a lack of fitness.
• Leeds United have all their players ready and fit to be in action.

Player(s) to watch:

• Martin Zubimendi delivered a good performance, as the Spaniard controlled the midfield well in the previous game for Arsenal. Even though he failed to be very impactful in the attacking front, Zubimendi was a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. In the upcoming game, he will yet again play an important role.
• Lukas Nmecha was the sole goal scorer in Leeds United’s clash against Everton. He successfully converted a spot kick and helped his side secure an important win. Nmecha will be looking to step up yet again for the Peacocks, as the upcoming game is going to be a tough affair for them.
