Arsenal will lock horns with Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, looking to take the three points on their home turf. The Whites come into the match on the back of an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Manchester City in their last Premier League fixture, whereas the Gunners recorded a 2-1 victory over West Ham United.
The remainder of the games in the Premier League are all big games for Arsenal between now and the end of the season as they chase down a place in next season’s Champions League. With just three games left to play, the Gunners sit two points clear of Tottenham in fifth and would want to continue the winning streak.

Mikel Arteta will probably opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game.
Jesse Marsch could set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and will make a few changes to his first XI for this game. Robin Koch, Junior Firpo and Daniel James will probably get the nod to play from the start as Marsch looks to select a strong team for this game.
