Arsenal vs Leeds: predicted set -up today and confirmed Team News | Football
Arsenal returns to Premier League -Action against Leeds United at Emiraten tonight.
Gunners fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Eberechi Eze after the club sensationally swept in to sign the England star under the nose by the Arkeledalen Tottenham this week.
For him to be involved today, Arsenal had to register the 27-year-old at noon on Friday. But without confirmation of the deal yet, it looks very unlikely.
Arsenal got its campaign on victory over Manchester United on Sunday, which left Old Trafford with a 1-0 victory even though they looked far from their best.
Viktor Gyokeres had an inevitable debut in Manchester and did not record a single shot on goal.

Sweden International, signed from Sporting CP this summer, will surely hold its place in the side -fitting confirmation Kai Haveertz is facing a magic formula with a knee injury.
Mikel Arteta could not set a timeline upon his return with the forward set to undergo further tests.
It was not only Gyokeres who had a quiet afternoon against United – Arsenal’s entire attacking unit was undercooked against United with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice in the midfield, all largely anonymous.
Leandro Trossard, who has agreed on a new contract with the club, and Noni Madueke will run to replace the Brazilians on the left.
Riccardo Calafiori got the nod at the left back and scored his Sida’s winning goal after 13 minutes which he seems to do enough to keep his place in the side.
On the second flank, Ben White was preferred over Jurrien Timber.
White is a doubt for tonight’s game with Arteta, which also explains on Friday that they exert caution over Timber’s fitness.
In the meantime, Christian Norgaard missed the trip to Manchester with the former Brentford captain who would miss again today.
Gabriel Jesus is the club’s only other injured.

It was not beautiful from Arsenal on Sunday but it got the job done. Arteta noted that his players need time to get to the presence of Gyokeres at Leed’s visit an ideal opportunity to put them back into work.
