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’.

Gracia 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.

FT: Arsenal 4-1 Leeds United

Leeds well-beaten in the end. Conceding so soon after the break was the killer. Ayling struggled against Martinelli and those promising, resolute 30 minutes at the beginning quickly forgotten. Onto Tuesday. No point dwelling.

87’ Bamford replaces Harrison for the last few minutes.

79’ Leeds almost play themselves into trouble, a Roca pass picked off, Cooper struggling to contain Odegaard. Meslier able to gather as Cooper challenges a second time.

GOOOOALLLLLL KRISTENSEN 3-1

75' Cooper on for Koch. Rutter replaces Summerville.

70’ Harrison whips a dangerous cross through the area, no one in position to get on it.
