Starting line-up, confirmed team news, latest injury for today’s Premier League match

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named Bukayo Saka on the bench as the Gunners welcome Leeds to the Emirates Stadium, but Gabriel Jesus gets his first Premier League start since the World Cup.

It is the first time Saka has not started a League game this season, while William Saliba is sidelined with a back injury suffered in the Europa League earlier this month.

Rob Holding, who started just one top-flight game this season against Crystal Palace before the international break, continues in the Frenchman’s absence.

“Rob already has huge experience at the club, in the Premier League, and I think he showed that in the right way in the last game against Palace,” Arteta said on Friday.

Thomas Partey is fit for Arsenal after missing Ghana’s draw with Angola on Monday, while Jesus is back in the starting line-up after working on the training ground during the international break.

“He’s very close to it (100 percent). In the last 10 days he has really taken a big step forward,” Arteta said of Jesus.

“You can see he’s more free, he doesn’t think about it. You can see that he is already creating the chaos in training that he is capable of creating in unique moments. He’s in a really good place now.”

However, Eddie Nketiah is still out for Arsenal, along with long-term absentees Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Trossard, Jesus, Martinelli.

Substitutions: Tierney, Saka, Smith Rowe, Kiwior, Jorginho, Vieira, Nelson, Turner, Walters.
