The Story in 60 Seconds

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is expected to make four lineup changes across defence, midfield, and attack ahead of Saturday's match against Leeds United. The anticipated reshuffle follows a 3-0 defeat to Brighton and international break hamstring injuries sustained by Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis. Ben White could return at right-back in place of Jurrien Timber, who is being managed due to fitness issues.

In midfield and attack, Myles Lewis-Skelly could step in for the heavily traveled Bruno Guimaraes, while Eberechi Eze is tipped to start on the left wing in Tzolis' absence. Up front, Sweden international Viktor Gyokeres is poised to earn his first Premier League start of the season as Arsenal hosts Leeds in the early kick-off.
