Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of his Arsenal side’s Premier League clash with Leeds United at Elland Road. The Gunners are in desperate need of a response following their defeat to Manchester United last weekend.
The gap at the top has closed to just four points and with Manchester City away to Tottenham and Aston Villa facing Brentford on Sunday, it can be the job of Arsenal to turn the screw on their rivals this time by widening the gap. The benefit of welcoming both Riccardo Calafiori and Kai Havertz back into the fold will be of significant benefit too.
The pressure is on for Arteta and there are many decisions to be made in his side ahead of this difficult trip. It is one of just four remaining league matches to be played outside of London from his last 15 to play in the Premier League.
