Arsenal v Leeds United: Gyokeres set to lead the line as both sides prepare for Premier League meeting

Arsenal are expected to field an attacking line-up when they face Leeds United at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 10 October 2026, in the sixth round of the Premier League.

Bruno Guimaraes could partner Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield, with the combination intended to provide greater balance and physical presence. Bukayo Saka is expected to retain his place on the wing, while Eberechi Eze could be brought into the attacking set-up.

Viktor Gyokeres is the likely choice to start as Arsenal’s centre-forward. The Gunners will, however, be without six players for the fixture: William Saliba, Cristhian Mosquera, Ben White, Declan Rice, Christos Tzolis and Kai Havertz.

Arsenal’s probable XI

Goalkeeper: David Raya

Defenders: Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel, Ezri Konsa, Jurrien Timber

Defensive midfielders: Myles Lewis-Skelly, Bruno Guimaraes

Attacking midfielders: Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Eberechi Eze

Centre-forward: Viktor Gyokeres

Leeds United will also have several fitness concerns before travelling to face Arsenal. Joe Rodon and Mateo Joseph remain unavailable, while Harry Wilson, Jean-Matteo Bahoya and Daniel James are all doubts.

Despite those absences, Leeds manager is expected to be able to name a competitive side for the sixth-round match. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is regarded as a player capable of making the difference at any moment and is expected to keep his place in the starting line-up.

Leeds United’s probable XI

Goalkeeper: James Trafford

Defenders: James Justin, Nico Elvedi, Tarik Muharemovic

Midfielders: Jayden Bogle, Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka, Gabriel Gudmundsson

Forwards: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor
