Arsenal v Leeds United live stream, Sunday 8 May, 2pm BST
Arsenal will be looking to boost their top-four chances when they host Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
Heading into the weekend, Mikel Arteta’s men sit two points clear of Tottenham in what has become a two-horse race for fourth place. A run of three consecutive defeats in April threatened to derail Arsenal’s push for Champions League football, but the Gunners have since returned to form by taking nine points from the last nine available.
The north London derby looms on Thursday, before which Arsenal potentially have the chance to open up a five-point lead over Spurs – depending on how Antonio Conte’s side get on at Anfield on Saturday.
Leeds are in a precarious position as the finish line comes into view. The Whites have a slender two-point buffer above the bottom three, with last weekend’s 4-0 defeat by Manchester City leaving them looking nervously over their shoulder.
Leeds have played one more match than Everton, the side directly below them in the standings, and still have to play Chelsea in their next fixture. Jesse Marsch has made an impact since taking charge, but Leeds are not out of the woods yet.
Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey will not return for Arsenal until next season. Nuno Tavares will therefore continue at left-back, with one of Cedric Soares or Takehiro Tomiyasu deployed on the other side of the defence. Ben White will need to be assessed in the run-up to kick-off, with the England international hoping to be involved after a tight hamstring.
Leeds will have to make do without the services of Patrick Bamford, Tyler Roberts, Adam Forshaw, Liam Cooper and Crysencio Summerville for the trip to London. Stuart Dallas fractured his femur – a highly unusual injury for a footballer – in last weekend’s meeting with Manchester City and will be out of action for many months.
Kick-off is at 2pm BST on Sunday 8 May, and the game is being broadcast live by Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
