Arsenal XI vs Leeds: Havertz IN - starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Speaking in the pre-match press conference, Mikel Arteta said: "Yeah, we have to manage him because he's been with a few issues since he came back from the World Cup, and we know the amount of games that he's played in the last three years.

"So, yes, it was a sensible thing to do, and hopefully tomorrow he's available and some others that as well are in doubt."

Elsewhere, Arteta has made a big call regarding the fitness of Havertz and Konsa for Arsenal's clash with Leeds.

Neither were seen in footage of Arsenal's training session on Thursday but both have been included in the starting lineup.
