Leeds Utd vs Arsenal, images from the final training session ahead of the Elland Road clash…

Arsenal travel to Elland Road on Saturday looking to consolidate fourth place after we moved into the Champions League places for the first time in 14 months following the win against West Ham.

Mikel Arteta almost has a full squad to choose from which is rather unusual with the serge in Covid-19 cases in the UK causing many games to be postponed.

All the first team players trained at London Colney apart from Sead Kolasinac, who is still nursing an ankle injury.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did arrive at the training ground today but, according to The Telegraph’s Matt Law, was forced to train away from the main group.

Aubameyang is still exiled from first-team matters after being stripped of the captaincy last week due to a “disciplinary breach”.

In terms of the starting lineup, the only obvious decision for Arteta to make is in the left-wing position, with Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli vying for that role.

Our away form has come under sharp focus in recent weeks following the defeats at Old Trafford and Goodison Park, and we have a good opportunity to put that right in our next two Premier League fixtures.
