Arsenal face Leeds United on Saturday afternoon in their first home game of the campaign and will be hoping to mark it with a victory.

The Gunners were victorious in their season opener, taking three points from Old Trafford with a narrow 1-0 win over Manchester United. Riccardo Calafiori netted the only goal of the contest, heading in from close range early in the first-half.

With Leeds set to provide Arsenal with a tough test, there are three key talking points ahead of today's matchup between the sides.


1. Continue winning start

Following on from their opening weekend victory, the Gunners will be looking to continue their winning start to the season.

A strong start to the campaign is crucial for a side looking to end the year as champions so it is imperative Arsenal pick up another three points at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta should fancy his chances of making it two wins from two as his side come up against a newly promoted team that they have enjoyed a good record against in recent encounters. There should be no excuses for the Gunners on Saturday as they should maintain their 100% start.
