Arsenal aim to reset after their 3-0 loss to Brighton before the international break, with unbeaten Leeds United next. The visitors have two victories and three draws from their first five matches.

According to Leeds Live, Mikel Arteta faces selection calls as injuries ease and his squad could be bolstered for the visit. David Raya is expected to be ready to start in goal.

At right-back, Ben White and Jurrien Timber could be available, with Timber working on fitness with the Netherlands and White rehabilitating at Sobha. Cristhian Mosquera has trained with former club Valencia and could also feature.

Timber might keep the role or White could return. Ezri Konsa could partner Gabriel Magalhaes at centre-back, while Saliba’s comeback remains some way off. Riccardo Calafiori should stay at left-back, with Piero Hincapie sidelined by a muscle issue.

Declan Rice, recuperating after pulling out of England duty, should be joined by either Bruno Guimaraes or Myles Lewis-Skelly. Martin Odegaard is set to operate as No 10 after shaking off an ankle knock for Norway against Portugal.

Bukayo Saka will continue on the right. Christos Tzolis appears doubtful after a muscle problem on Greece duty and is being assessed today before returning to north London. Eberechi Eze may be preferred on the left.

Viktor Gyokeres may get his first start of the season, with Kai Havertz nursing a hamstring complaint not believed to be severe. Possible XI: Raya, Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Saka, Odegaard, Eze, Gyokeres.
