Arsenal go into battle without the services of Thomas Partey, who Mikel Arteta said is “devastated” to miss out with the injury he sustained at Aston Villa. Partey’s career at the Emirates has been frustratingly stop-start to date and there is a further headache in the form of Kieran Tierney’s continued absence. Arteta hopes to see a swift recovery from consecutive defeats that he feels Arsenal did not deserve; if Leeds miss their own midfield lynchpin, the doubtful Kalvin Phillips, their cause
might receive a shot in the arm. Nick Ames
