Leeds United will host league leaders Arsenal at Elland Road on Saturday as they aim to continue their strong home performance.
Leeds has moved away from the relegation zone thanks to recent results. Under manager Daniel Farke, the team has become much stronger in 2026, losing only once in their last 11 games in all competitions. Although Arsenal defeated them earlier in the season, Leeds is now showing improved resilience. A win would mark a significant achievement against the top team.
Leeds United Team News
Daniel Farke faces some late fitness issues ahead of the match. Lukas Nmecha will be out due to a hamstring injury, and defender Jaka Bijol also has a thigh issue. Gabriel Gudmundsson is uncertain and will need to pass a late fitness test because of an adductor problem. Therefore, Farke may rely on the players who earned a draw against Everton.
Karl Darlow is expected to start in goal. Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk will form a three-man defense. In midfield, Anton Stach and Ethan Ampadu will provide support. Brenden Aaronson will lead the attack alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is key to Leeds’ offensive strategy.
