"Welcome to a rematch of the 1972 FA Cup final, which Leeds United won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Sniffer Clarke. Leeds fans are advised to keep thinking about that, because more up-to-date data very much does not skew in their favour. In the last 20 years, these two clubs have met 11 times. Arsenal have won nine of the matches, scoring four goals on three separate occasions and 23 overall. Leeds have won none, scoring just seven goals in total."
"Pull the focus back just one more year, to the 2003-04 season, and we find another three wins for Arsenal: two 4-1s and a 5-0. So throw in Arsenal's genuine title hopes and newly promoted Leeds' more modest aims, and everything points to a home banker. But football is football, so you just never know. Kick-off is at 5.30pm UK time. It's on!"
Arsenal make two changes after a 1-0 win at Manchester United, with Jurrien Timber replacing injured Ben White and Noni Madueke starting for benched Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal's starting XI includes Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres and Madueke, with Mosquera, Arrizabalaga and Trossard among the substitutes. Leeds also won their opener 1-0 and make one change, Ilia Gruev replacing injured captain Ethan Ampadu. Leeds' starting XI includes Lucas Perri, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Tanaka, Gruev, Stach, James, Piroe and Gnonto. Arsenal have dominated recent meetings and kick-off is at 5.30pm UK time.
