Leeds: £21m star 'could cause Arsenal problems' at Elland Road

Leeds United star Luis Sinisterra ‘could cause the Arsenal defence problems’ when the two sides meet at Elland Road on Sunday, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The Gunners have only suffered one defeat since the Premier League campaign got underway, but Jesse Marsch’s side will be looking to double that tally when they arrive in Yorkshire.

Despite going ahead through an early Pascal Struijk goal, Leeds fell to a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend and Marsch was unable to call upon Sinisterra.

That is because the winger was serving a one-match ban after being sent off in the goalless stalemate with Aston Villa.

Patrick Bamford described team-mate Sinisterra as ‘naive’ after he picked up a second yellow card for failing to retreat 10 yards following the award of a free-kick.

However, the 23-year-old - who made the £21million switch from Dutch side Feyenoord during the summer transfer window - is in contention to feature against Arsenal this weekend.

That will be music to Leeds boss Marsch's ears as Sinisterra has already adapted to life in Yorkshire well, notching three goals and an assist in seven appearances.

O'Rourke has doubts over whether Marsch will select a more defensive-minded team against Arsenal and, instead, feels the American will go toe-to-toe with the north Londoners.

The journalist believes Sinisterra could play a key role as Leeds look to bounce back from last weekend's defeat to Crystal Palace.

O'Rourke told GIVEMESPORT: "It was a disappointing result for Leeds in the end to lose that game 2-1, especially after being 1-0 up.

"Leeds are now coming up against the most in-form team in
