ARS Vs LEE: Arsenal Confirmed Starting Lineup Ahead of Premier League Clash

According to a report by London Evening Standard on Saturday October 10, 2026, Arsenal Confirmed Starting Lineup: Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa have all been named in Mikel Arteta’s starting eleven for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have received a triple boost following injury concerns during the international break.

Rice withdrew from the England squad ahead of their international fixtures, but his absence was attributed to workload management rather than a fresh injury problem. Arteta had previously explained the need to carefully manage the midfielder after his recent fitness issues and demanding schedule.

Havertz also raised concerns after suffering a hamstring injury while representing Germany. Meanwhile, Konsa withdrew from the England camp after experiencing a dead leg. Both players were absent from footage of Arsenal’s training session on Thursday, but Arteta has included them in his starting lineup against Leeds.

However, Christos Tzolis remains unavailable after picking up a hamstring problem expected to keep him out for several weeks. Noni Madueke has been selected on the left wing ahead of Eberechi Eze, while Viktor Gyokeres must settle for a place among the substitutes despite scoring four goals in four matches for Sweden during the international break.

Ben White returns at right-back to face his former club, with Myles Lewis-Skelly preferred alongside Rice in midfield. The young midfielder gets the nod ahead of Bruno Guimaraes as Arsenal look to return to winning ways.

Arteta will also be hoping his attacking options can deliver against a Leeds side visiting the Emirates Stadium. The Arsenal manager recently extended his contract until 2030 and will be targeting further silverware during his time in North London.

Raya, White, Gabriel, Konsa, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Madueke, Havertz.

Substitutes: Arrizabalaga, Timber, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Merino, Guimaraes, Eze, Dowman, Gyokeres.
