and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds face Premier League table-toppers Arsenal at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon and Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made seven changes for Thursday evening’s contest inside the Artic Circle on an artificial pitch. Star striker Gabriel Jesus was rested and not part of the match day squad whilst Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and keeper Aaron Ramsdale all dropped to the bench.
Former Leeds loan star Ben White, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and William Saliba were the only four players to start for Arsenal who also lined up in the weekend’s victory against Liverpool. Oleksandr Zinchenko is sidelined with a muscular injury whilst Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny are also injured with longer term issues.
