Bukayo Saka injured in warm-up at Elland Road and replaced by Noni Madueke in starting XI
We have been told that Bukayo Saka, who withdrew from the warm up through injury, has a hip problem. It is his left hip, that's the reason he was replaced by Noni Madueke.
Kai Havertz slips the ball through to Noni Madueke as Arsenal keep up the attack, but Madueke is just offside.
You can tell Leeds are a team in form. Leeds are looking very, very positive and confident in these early stages. The crowd is getting behind them, and they sense something today.
Bukayo Saka injury update: Why is Arsenal star not playing vs. Leeds?
Arsenal will face a difficult match against Leeds without the services of star winger Bukayo Saka.
Saka was named in the starting lineup at Elland Road, but was a late scratch after suffering an injury during warm-ups.
The Gunners went into the game leading Manchester City and Aston Villa by four points atop the Premier League table after three straight winless league matches.
Frustrating draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest were followed by a demoralizing 3-2 defeat at Manchester United last weekend.
Expected to play a big role in England's World Cup campaign this summer, Saka has four goals in 21 Premier League games for Arsenal this campaign.

Mikel Arteta has made nine changes for today’s Premier League game against Leeds United, with Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz in his line-up – but an injury to Bukayo Saka in the warm-up means that Noni Madueke takes his spot just before kick-off.
Gyokeres and Havertz combined to good effect in our 3-2 win against Kairat Almaty on Wednesday, with the returning German assisting Viktor for the opening goal, before Kai got on the scoresheet himself, and that has prompted the boss to start them again at Elland Road.
