"Starting with the hosts, while Leeds might have found themselves at the heart of a public crisis on either side of November's international break, Daniel Farke's men have come roaring back in a rugged fashion. Despite suffering late frustration away at Everton earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate on Merseyside, the former Norwich boss has seen his resurgent squad skyrocket themselves away from the drop zone."
"Both dealing with respective hamstring injuries, Leeds will once again be without the duo of Jake Bijol and one-time Manchester United star Daniel James. However, making a first Premier League appearance since the end of November away at Everton on Monday, Sean Longstaff should get some more minutes under his belt. Notching nine Premier League strike in what has been his maiden campaign at Elland Road, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead Leeds' charge."
"As for the visitors, eventually falling to a remarkable 3-2 loss at home against bitter historic rivals Manchester United last weekend, Arsenal missed out on the opportunity to widen their buffer at the top of the Premier League table. Travelling to Yorkshire on Saturday afternoon holding just a four-point buffer over the chasing pack, Mikel Arteta's men have registered just two point"
Arsenal will travel to Elland Road to face Leeds on Saturday. Leeds have recovered form under Daniel Farke, suffering only one defeat in their previous 11 matches since November 29 and collecting 11 points from their last five Premier League home games. Leeds drew 1-1 at Everton recently and secured a last-gasp 1-0 home win over Fulham. Jake Bijol and Daniel James remain sidelined with hamstring injuries, while Sean Longstaff returned at Everton and should see more minutes. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored nine Premier League goals this season and will lead the attack, with Karl Darlow starting in goal. Arsenal lost 3-2 to Manchester United and travel holding a four-point lead at the top.
