Arsenal 4-1 Leeds United highlights: Whites beaten at Emirates Stadium as Gracia experiment fails to pay off
and live on Freeview channel 276
Last month’s international schedule was not so kind to Leeds United, robbing them of key players Max Wober and Willy Gnonto, both of whom have been lost to injury. Neither will feature in north London this afternoon, nor will Tyler Adams whose season is all but over after undergoing hamstring surgery.
Nevertheless, Leeds head coach Javi Gracia is insistent his side have what it takes to glean a positive result in the capital, but does acknowledge United’s injury situation does leave him ‘worried’.

Hide AdGracia has belief in the remaining players available to him, including Rodrigo and Luis Sinisterra who are close to full fitness but unlikely to start today.

Dark clouds but largely dry. Think the rain is going to stay away this afternoon. Unlike the blazing, bright sunshine the last time Leeds were here. Forecast doesn’t predict any first half Luke Ayling red cards this time, either.
