Arsenal play host to Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium with both clubs having made a winning start to the new Premier League season. The Gunners claimed all three points in their uninspiring 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on opening weekend, while Leeds triumphed by the same scoreline against Everton.
Mikel Arteta's side turned in a performance far from what Gunners fans have become accustomed to at the home of their historic rivals, but that didn't matter as they got off the mark at the first time of asking. Likewise, the Whites were arguably a touch fortunate to overcome the Toffees after James Tarkowski's contentious handball in the box was punished by Lukas Nmecha, who scored from the spot.
The newly-promoted side will now face their first big test of the season against a club they haven't beaten in over 22 years. Mirror Football are on hand with all of the vital information ahead of this evening Saturday Night Football clash.
