The Whites go up against the Gunners on Saturday having failed to overcome them since May 2003.
On that day, Peter Reid’s men record a dramatic 3-2 win at Highbury thanks to an 89th minute Mark Viduka strike, and since then the best they have been able to muster against the Londoners is a 1-1 FA Cup draw in 2011.
Here’s what became of Leeds’ starting XI from their last victory over this weekend’s opponents:
1. Paul Robinson
The former England number one retired from the professional game in 2017, and has since gone on to become one of the biggest pundits in the English game.

2. Gary Kelly
A hero among Leeds fans to this day, Kelly was the quintessential one-club man. The Republic of Ireland international hung up his boots in 2007, but his legacy at Elland Road has gone far beyond his playing career, and he is still regarded as one of the best and most loyal to have ever pulled on the jersey.

3. Danny Mills
Mills was never one to shy away from a confrontation on the pitch, and that combative streak has served him well as he has made the transition into punditry. The ex-England man has carved out a good career for himself behind the mic, and his outspoken ways usually mean that he is never too far away from riling some fanbase or other.

4. Michael Duberry
The towering defender became something of a journeyman after he left Leeds, turning out for Stoke City, Reading, Wycombe Wanderers, St. Johnstone, Oxford United, and Hendon before calling time on his playing days in 2013. Since retiring, he has founded Made Leaders, a mentoring, coaching and leadership business. (Photo by Mark Thompson/Getty Images) Photo: Mark Thompson
5. Lucas Radebe
A Leeds legend, Radebe spent the best years of his career, and eventually retired in Yorkshire. Since then, he's kept himself busy working in punditry and with the South Africa national side as a coach. His ties to Leeds remain strong though, and he was even part of Josh Warrington's ringwalk prior to his IBF Featherweight Championship fight against Lee Selby at Elland Road in 2018.

6. Dominic Matteo
Matteo hasn't had it easy since hanging up his boots. The former Scottish international struggled with a number of off-field issues in his personal life, and was declared bankrupt in 2015. More recently, he underwent surgery on a brain tumour in November of 2019. Thankfully, the operation was a success, and the ex-Elland Road man revealed that he was fully recovered in April. An ever-popular figure, Matteo is no stranger to a punditry panel. (Photo credit by Odd Andersen/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: Odd Andersen
