Arsenal v Leeds result: Eddie Nketiah's early double seals victory over 10-man visitors

Leeds get the ball moving at the Emirates.

It's Arsenal versus Leeds in a huge afternoon in the Premier League. It's LIVE and it's NEXT!

Arsenal have won their last three games against Leeds in all competitions, last beating them in four in a row between November 1936 and April 1938.

Speaking to the official Leeds United website, the key midfielder said: “You’ve got a lot of people who focus on other teams, but we will just focus on ourselves to try and get better. Hopefully we can do everything we can to get the points on the board.

“He’s [Marsch] always been positive, the first day he walked through the door he was very positive and that’s all he has been since he has come in.

“He’s just wanted to push us to try and understand the tactics and the way he’s wanted us to play, and be positive about everything we do and I think we are doing that.”

"It's a lot to play for and obviously, the situation that they are in, they are going to show how much they want to get out of that zone as quickly as possible," Arteta said of Leeds.

"For us, this is the defining moment of the season after everything we've done so we want to capitalise on what we've done in the last nine or 10 months."

Victory for Arsenal would move them four points clear of Tottenham in fifth with just three games left ahead of Thursday night's North London derby. A win would also move them to within a point of third-placed Chelsea, as the race for a Champions League spot really heats up.

Leeds start the day just two points above 18th-placed Everton, who are away at Leicester this afternoon and have a game in hand over Jesse Marsch's side. Should Leeds pull off a surprise result and win this afternoon, they could be five points above the Toffees. That's the best case scenario for the Whites; they dare not think about the worst.

Leeds have never beaten Arsenal at the Emirates in all competitions in five attempts (D1 L4) - in their entire history, they've only played more games at Brighton's AMEX Stadium (eight) without winning.

Joe Gelhardt spearheads Leeds' attack and he's one of three changes from the side that lost 4-0 to Manchester City, with Daniel James and Diego Llorente coming in for Pascal Struijk and Rodrigo.

The Leeds players are wearing t-shirts paying tribute to Stuart Dallas who broke his leg in the defeat to the Citizens.

Arteta makes just the one change from the Arsenal side that won 2-1 at West Ham last time out, with Cedric Soares coming in for Nuno Tavares at left-back.

Ben White misses out again with a hamstring problem, but Takehiro Tomiyasu is fit enough to keep his place and Eddie Nketiah leads the attack.

Starting XI: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Llorente, Firpo, Phillips, Klich, Raphinha, James, Harrison, Gelhardt.

Subs: Klaesson, Rodrigo, Struijk, Bate, Hjelde, Cresswell, Greenwood, Shackleton, Gray.

Starting XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Soares, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Nketiah.

Subs: Leno, Lacazette, Smith Rowe, Pepe, Tavares, Lokonga, Oulad M’hand, Swanson, Patino.

Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League match between Arsenal and Leeds.

After Tottenham dropped points yesterday, albeit earning a hard fought draw at Anfield, Mikel Arteta's side can move four points clear of their North London rivals in the race for a top-four spot.

They will have to overcome a Leeds side fighting for every point as they look to secure their top-flight status. A loss here could see them in real trouble.
