Arsenal vs Leeds United live: Score and latest updates from the Premier League

Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Arsenal vs Leeds United from the Emirates where the visitors have never won, losing five times and drawing once on their trips in league and Cup since the Gunners moved from Highbury. It was a curious game last season. Leeds were battered in the first half and went down to 10 men when Luke Ayling, frustrated by Gabriel Martinelli's skinning of him, got himself sent off after 27 minutes with his side 2-0 down. But Arsenal failed to press down their advantage and though Leeds barely improved, they clawed one back and could/should have stolen a point with Rodrigo's late header.

During the match at Elland Road earlier this season which featured a 40-minute hiatus for VAR to be rebooted, Leeds actually rattled Arsenal in the second half after Rodrigo had made a gift of a goal to Bukayo Saka with the hospital pass of all hospital passes. Patrick Bamford missed a penalty and another very good chance to equalise and VAR rose from the dead to chalk off a stoppage-time penalty awarded to the home side for a Bamford collision with Gabriel that the Leeds centre-forward ultimately was deemed to have initiated.

So Leeds travel with some hope from recent performances ... and none at all given their record there – and Arsenal's recent show of resilience and brilliance since rallying against Aston villa to win 4-2 and start a run of six successive wins that has fortified their lead at the top of the Premier League and brought a first title for 19 years closer.

They will start today without Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mohamed Elneny Eddie Nketiah and William Saliba but Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney should be OK. Leeds lost their two best players since Christmas – Max Wöber and Willy Gnonto – to injury while on international duty, Tyler Adams is touch and go to return before the end of the season while Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw are still some way off.
