Arsenal welcome Leeds United to the Emirates on Monday evening as Mikel Arteta’s side look to continue their resurgence.

The Spaniard’s reign took flight with victory over Manchester United last week, dominating Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side from start to finish. 

However, Arteta will look to rotate his side tonight, with a number of players overtired as they attempt to adapt to his new high-intensity system.

Marcelo Bielsa could also look to rest a number of key players with his side leading the Championship after a 1-1 draw withe closest challengers West Brom.

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it?

The tie will kick-off at 19.56 on Monday 6 January at the Emirates.

How can I watch it?

The match will be broadcast live on BBC1 and BBC Sport online.

Predicted line-ups

Arsenal: Martinez; Maitland-Niles, Holding, Mavropanos, Saka; Willock, Guendouzi; Nelson, Ceballos, Smith Rowe; Martinelli

Leeds: Casilla; Ayling, White, Cooper, Alioski; Phillips; Helder Costa, Dallas, Klich, Harrison; Bamford

Team news

Alexandre Lacazette and Lucas Torreira are both likely to be rested after pulling up during the club’s victory over Manchester United. Gabriel Martinelli remains a doubt due to a hamstring injury.

Tyler Roberts was ruled out of the West Brom game with a minor knock, while Adam Forshaw and Jamie Shackleton have returned to training and could play. Pablo Hernandez remains a longer-term absentee.

Prediction

Leeds should push a heavily rotated Arsenal side to the wire, however, the good feeling conjured by victory against United should carry over for Arteta, with a young side who’ll be desperate to prove themselves to him.
