Arsenal FC XI vs Leeds: Predicted Lineup, Team News, and Injury Update for Today's Premier League Match
The Gunners are gearing up for a crucial match at Elland Road, aiming to halt a three-game winless streak that has fueled their rivals' hopes in the Premier League title race.
The German player was substituted at halftime, a strategic move, and it remains uncertain if Arteta will start him in the Premier League.
Arteta expressed confidence on Friday, stating, 'He's ready.' He acknowledged the extended period of rest and the need to manage the player's workload and game selection. Despite no immediate reaction to the Kairat match, Arteta praised his performance, highlighting his potential impact on the team.
Arteta might opt for a bench substitution with Havertz, with Viktor Gyokeres leading the attack.
Key players like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Gabriel were rested midweek and are expected to return to the starting lineup.
Riccardo Calafiori, who played 45 minutes in the Champions League, could make his first Premier League appearance since December in Yorkshire.
Max Dowman is the sole Arsenal player currently sidelined due to injury, which means some first-team players will miss the matchday squad.
Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
Injury Report: Dowman
Venue: Elland Road, Leeds
Date and Time: 3 pm GMT, Saturday, January 31, 2026
