Team update: Madueke handed starting role on home debut

Share:

Madueke replaces Martinelli for his first Arsenal start, while Timber comes in for the injured White as Leeds visit the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta has made two changes to his side for today’s Premier League clash with Leeds United, with Noni Madueke handed his first Gunners start.

The winger will make his home bow against the Whites from the start, after replacing Gabriel Martinelli who started our 1-0 success against Manchester United on Sunday but is on the bench this evening.

The other switch from that game at Old Trafford sees Ben White drop out of the matchday squad after picking up an injury last weekend, and Jurrien Timber takes his spot.

Martin Odegaard skippers the side as usual, on what is his 200th Arsenal appearance.
