Arsenal Name Havertz and Konsa in Starting XI Against Leeds

Arsenal have named Kai Havertz and Konsa in their starting lineup for the Premier League meeting with Leeds United, making several changes to their previous team. The match kicks off at 12:30 p.m. BST on Saturday, marking the league's first fixture in 20 days, according to Fantasy Football Scout.

Noni Madueke has been selected ahead of Eberechi Eze to replace the absent Christos Tzolis. Arsenal have also brought Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly into the starting XI, with Jurrien Timber and Bruno Guimaraes moving to the substitutes' bench. Cristhian Mosquera is absent from the Arsenal squad despite returning to training during the international break.

His omission means the defender will not feature in the matchday lineup against Leeds.

Arsenal's starting XI is Raya, White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Saka, Madueke and Havertz. The lineup includes changes in defense and midfield, alongside Madueke's inclusion in the attacking unit.

Arsenal's substitutes are Arrizabalaga, Zubimendi, Timber, Eze, Merino, Gyokeres, Hincapie, Guimaraes and Dowman. Timber and Guimaraes are available from the bench after being left out of the starting team. Leeds United, meanwhile, have kept the same starting lineup used in their goalless draw with Crystal Palace. The unchanged selection maintains continuity following that result as the club prepares to face Arsenal away from home.

Leeds' starting XI consists of Trafford, Bogle, Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic, Gudmundsson, Tanaka, Stach, Ampadu, Okafor and Calver-Lewin. The selection includes Gabriel Gudmundsson, who previously discussed Leeds' preparations for the challenge at Emirates Stadium. Leeds' substitutes are Zetterer, Bard, Gruev, Bahoya, Bijol, Nmecha, Wilson, Longstaff and Aaronson. According to Fantasy Football Scout, no changes have been made to the starting team since the draw against Crystal Palace.
