Leeds United vs Arsenal

This year you can make a case that all six additions have already proved their worth. Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira are excellent young signings who can play now ...

And all of the players have even more of an understanding of what Arteta wants and experience playing together.

Far too often managers are asked to transform a club and not given the time to implement those changes. While Saliba has walked into the starting XI and looks the part of a well-established Premier League centre-back despite being just 21 - and he’s already scored twice! Given existing contracts and varying budget levels, most clubs and managers need at least two or three windows to begin to build toward a new iteration. Matt Turner is a decent pickup for the backup keeper role.

But will they take it? The fixture squeeze is happening right now, and this is where Arsenal can distance themselves from the chasing pack. Leeds aren’t in the best form now, but can Arsenal take advantage?

The only question mark in the Arsenal lineup is whether Kieran Tierney or Takehiro Tomiyasu will get the start at left back. That Tierney started and played ...

Mohamed Elneny will also be out a while, back in September Arteta said that he expected the midfielder to be out for a few months. It’s fortunate that Arsenal had the midweek Europa League match against Bodø/Glimt to refocus because coming off the massive win against [Liverpool](https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/), the Gunners might have overlooked their next opponents. [Leeds United](https://throughitalltogether.sbnation.com), looking to maintain their position atop the Premier League table.
