Leeds United started life back in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Everton at Elland Road on Monday night, and they take on Arsenal next at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Leeds will be facing one of their fiercest oppositions this season this weekend given how impressive the Gunners have been in the last three seasons. However, the Whites could be handed a boost given news emerging from an open session Arsenal training this morning.
The Gunners were without the trio of Kai Havertz, Christian Norgaard and Ben White, which could indicate that the trio are currently injured. The likes of Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga Reiss Nelson, who were out of the matchday squad against Manchester United are present. As a result, it is safe to conclude that the three key players are not fit enough to train right now.

Things could change between now and Saturday, but Leeds will fancy their chances of leaving North London with a result if Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta cannot call upon some of his key players. Nevertheless, the Gunners still have quality depth within their ranks after signing six players this summer, and Daniel Farke and his men have to be on top of their game on Saturday. The Whites could have another boost as Noah Okafor could be available to feature against Arsenal after flying into England for his medical.
The AC Milan attacker will be raring to go and handing him his Premier League debut against the Gunners could inspire him to perform.
