Leeds United vs Arsenal live stream and match preview
Looking for a Leeds United vs Arsenal live stream? We've got you covered.
Premier League leaders Arsenal travel to struggling Leeds United in the next test to their flying start to the season.
The Gunners have won eight of their nine league games so far and sit one point ahead of Manchester City on top of the standings.
Mikel Arteta’s side head north on a six-match winning run in all competitions, the most recent of which came on Thursday away to Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.
Bukayo Saka’s first-half strike gave Arsenal a 1-0 win in the Arctic Circle, coming on the back of his brace in a superb 3-2 victory at home to Liverpool last weekend.
In contrast, Leeds are on a five-match winless run stretching back to August and have picked up just two points in that time.
Jesse Marsch’s side, who lost 2-1 at Crystal Palace last time out, are 14th in the standings but go into the weekend just three points above the relegation zone.
Last season, Arsenal won both meetings between the clubs; an Eddie Nketiah double clinched a 2-1 victory at home to Leeds in May, while they triumphed 4-1 at Elland Road in December.
Luis Sinisterra returns from suspension for the hosts, but Stuart Dallas, Leo Fuhr Hjelde and Adam Forshaw are out injured.
Arsenal are still without injured pair Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is still struggling with a calf issue.

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.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
