Mikel Arteta has made two changes to his side for today’s Premier League clash with Leeds United, with Noni Madueke handed his first Gunners start.
The winger will make his home bow against the Whites from the start, after replacing Gabriel Martinelli who started our 1-0 success against Manchester United on Sunday but is on the bench this evening.
The other switch from that game at Old Trafford sees Ben White drop out of the matchday squad after picking up an injury last weekend, and Jurrien Timber takes his spot.
Martin Odegaard skippers the side as usual, on what is his 200th Arsenal appearance.

Meanwhile, Max Dowman has been included on our first-team bench for the first time in a competitive game, alongside fellow Hale Enders Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri.
Leeds meanwhile have made one change from the team that kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 success against Everton on Monday at Elland Road.
Skipper Ethan Ampadu was forced off with a knee injury in that game and his spot in midfield has been taken by Ilia Gruev, with Pascal Struijk donning the armband in the Welshman’s absence.
Recent signing from AC Milan Noah Okafor is added to the bench, as is another summer recruit in Jaka Bijol, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn't been included.
