Mikel Arteta Outlines His Desire To Improve Arsenal Squad This Summer

Mikel Arteta Quizzed On When The Board Decided To Offer Him A New Contract

Cedric Soares returns to the Arsenal starting lineup for their Premier League clash against Leeds at the Emirates.

The Portuguese full-back replaces his countryman Nuno Tavares in the XI in what is Mikel Arteta's only change to the side that won 2-1 against West Ham last weekend.

That means that Rob Holding continues at centre back, with Ben White unable to face his former side as he continues to recover from a tight hamstring.

Eddie Nketiah does start against the club, where he spent six months on loan ahead of Alexandre Lacazette, however, and will be looking to take some revenge after having his spell at Elland Road terminated early.

Takehiro Tomiyasu continues on the right-hand side of the defence for his second start in a row after four months out injured, while Bukayo Saka has recovered from the minor injury that forced him off at the London Stadium to start here.

Gabriel Martinelli, meanwhile, starts ahead of Emile Smith Rowe, while youngsters Zak Swanson, Salah Oulad M'Hand and Charlie Patino make the bench.
