Mikel Arteta has a number of injury concerns as title hopefuls Arsenal return to Premier League action against Leeds.

A back problem forced William Saliba to miss France's fixtures during the international break, Thomas Partey was left on the bench for Ghana's African Cup of Nations qualification clash against Angola as a precaution, while Kieran Tierney was substituted during Scotland's win over Spain after a challenge from Rodri.

Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery, but Arteta is hoping Eddie Nketiah can return sooner rather than later from an ankle injury.

Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury sustained before the international break.

Adams, 24, is joined in the treatment room by Max Wober and Wilfried Gnonto, who sustained thigh muscle and ankle injuries respectively while on international duty.

Arsenal v Leeds prediction

Arsenal are on a roll and the international break is unlikely to blunt their progress.

The Gunners have won 11 of their 14 games at home and boast one of the league's most in-form players in Bukayo Saka, who should have a field day against Leeds's leaky defence.

Saka scored the only goal of the game when the two teams met at Elland Road earlier in the campaign and is fancied to bag once again.

Leeds gave up plenty of chances in the 4-2 win at Wolves and will need to tighten up at the back if they are to stand any chance of leaving with a positive result.

Our prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Leeds (8/1 at bet365)
