Preview: Arsenal vs Leeds United | OneFootball

Leeds United continue their Premier League campaign with a first away fixture of the season away against Arsenal on Saturday evening.

The Whites go into the clash in the capital having picked up an important victory over Everton in the curtain raiser at Elland Road.

With the encounter still deadlocked, a late Lukas Nmecha penalty sealed the three points for Daniel Farke’s side in what was a memorable night under the lights.

The battle at the Emirates may see debuts given to new signings Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with the attackers joining the Whites from AC Milan and Everton respectively.

Summer recruit Jaka Bijol is also in contention to make his debut as the Slovenian returns from an opening day suspension.

The Gunners, meanwhile, have an identical record to Leeds after their opening day 1-0 win over Manchester United last time out.

In the previous campaign, Mikel Arteta’s side finished second in the Premier League standings – their third successive season as runners-up in the top-flight.

Like the Whites, Arsenal have also been busy in the transfer market. Alongside England international Noni Madueke, the North London outfit notably brought in prolific forward Viktor Gyökeres after a stellar spell in Lisbon with Sporting CP.

Action from the Emirates gets underway at 5:30pm.
