Team news
Arsenal could be strengthened by the returns of Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney, with both men being assessed ahead of kick off.
The game comes too soon for Eddie Nketiah who won't take on his old side as he continues to recover from his ankle injury.
Leeds endured a nightmare international break in terms of injuries. The West Yorkshire side are without Tyler Adams, Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Wilfried Gnonto and Maximilian Wober.
Verdict
Arsenal are just 10 games away from the Premier League crown and they will be intent on getting over the line in double quick time.
Their first task comes against a rejuvenated Leeds outfit who have picked up seven points from their last four games.
Javi Gracia's men are 14th in the standings but sit just two points above the bottom three heading into the final stretch of the season.
While Leeds have improved in recent weeks, winning away at the Emirates is a horrendously tough task.
Only one team this season has left the North London ground with all three points - that being the defending champions Manchester City.
The Gunners have won six straight Premier League games and have beaten Leeds in all of their previous five meetings.
Considering their recent dominance, it's no surprise to see Arsenal as the overwhelming favourites in the betting.
In order to find value, our tip is to back a home win and both teams to score. This bet has landed in three of the last five meetings.
Leeds have scored six goals in their last two league outings and are capable of getting on the scoreboard. Nevertheless, Arsenal will have enough quality to overcome the challenge and continue their title charge.
