Mikel Arteta has ruled Christos Tzolis out for “a few weeks” but is hopeful that Declan Rice can return to action for Arsenal this weekend against Leeds United. Tzolis, 24, suffered a hamstring injury on international duty with Greece and left his national team’s camp early for assessment at Arsenal last week.

Declan Rice has said that Arsenal are "very lucky" to have the "best" coach in Mikel Arteta after the Spaniard signed a four-year contract, committing his future at the club.

Arsenal are expected to dominate the ball and the territory here and that should lead to them having a fair few corners, while Leeds tend to prioritise their effectiveness from set-pieces and so backing at least eight more concerns is a good shout, too.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has insisted his conscience is clear after former club Manchester City were found guilty of breaking Premier League rules.

Where Leeds may also be able to match Arsenal is from attacking set-pieces. They lead the Premier League for the percentage of their shots (46.7%) and xG (41.0%) which have come from non-penalty set-pieces, with three of their seven goals coming from dead-ball situations.
