How to watch Arsenal v Leeds on TV and live stream

Fans can tune in to watch the game for free on BBC1 from 7:30pm.

You can also live stream the match via BBC iPlayer on a range of devices including laptops, smartphones and tablets.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

Much of this game will come down to Arteta’s team selection. A full-strength Arsenal side should be able to overcome a fired-up Leeds XI, but the likelihood is that fringe stars and youngsters will represent the home side.

Marcelo Balsa’s men are top of the Championship for a reason and will prove a stern test for the Gunners if they deploy a youthful team.
