Leeds vs Arsenal team news<\/p>\n
The home side are expected to be without Dan James and Jaka Bijol for the visit of the Gunners, while Gabriel Gudmundsson is a doubt after missing Monday\u2019s draw against Everton. <\/p>\n
Facundo Buonanotte, formerly on loan at Chelsea, is in line to make his home bow for Leeds after making his debut as a substitute against the Toffees.<\/p>\n
David Raya, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka, Martin Zubimendi and Leandro Trossard were all given the night off on Wednesday so should return to the starting XI at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Leeds vs Arsenal prediction<\/p>\n
Arsenal away from the Premier League grind seem to be a totally different proposition, but after three games without a win and no goals from open play, the pressure is on to get all three points here.<\/p>\n
Leeds are on a good run at home and will fancy their chances of making things difficult for the Gunners, but we expect the visitors to battle their way to a crucial win.<\/p>\n
Head to head (h2h) history and results<\/p>\n
Gunners have not lost to Leeds since that infamous game at Highbury in May 2003 which handed the Premier League title to Manchester United.<\/p>\n
