Arsenal return to the Emirates after a 1-0 opening-day win at Old Trafford, with Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres making Premier League debuts and Riccardo Calafiori scoring the decisive header. The club remains unbeaten in 14 meetings with Leeds and seeks a first home win of the 2025-26 season. William Saliba stressed the need to address shortcomings after three straight second-place finishes and called for greater effort to capture the title. Saliba emphasized scoring in varied ways and the urgency to convert strong performances into trophies. Newly promoted Leeds also began the campaign with a victory.
"Of course, we've finished second for three years in a row, and we know that we always miss something," Saliba said. "Now it's a new season, we have to see what we didn't do well enough to win the league. "We won the first game, and, of course, we want to win the league, and we will give everything. We have to try to be even better than the last three seasons to win this league."
"We want to score in any context - set pieces, counter-attack, everything. We have to give everything, and we know that we can win every time. "Of course, we knew that we didn't play our best football, but at the end we knew that it was the first game at Old Trafford with some new signings from them. "We just miss trophies. We play good, we are good, but we miss trophies, and we have to win trophies with Arsenal to be even better."
