Jesse Marsch’s side are back on home turf this weekend, and face a tough test against top of the table Arsenal on Sunday afternoon (2pm kick-off).
The Whites return to Elland Road and will be looking to continue their strong start to the campaign in West Yorkshire this season - a ground where they are still unbeaten during 2022/23.
However, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are the form team in the Premier League and deservedly occupy top spot following after an impressive run of matches which has seen eight wins from nine games played.
This fixture is dedicated to the ongoing No Room For Racism campaign, which was launched by the Premier League to tackle racism and discrimination in football and demonstrate its commitment to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion.
The visitors have had the better of the Whites over recent years, and are currently on an unbeaten run which stretches back to May 2003, when Mark Viduka netted a memorable 89th minute winner at Highbury.

Team news:
Jesse Marsch is without Adam Forshaw, Stuart Dallas and Leo Hjelde for Sunday’s clash, but he is boosted by the return of Luis Sinisterra from suspension and Junior Firpo, to full fitness.
Arsenal have doubts over top-scorer Gabriel Jesus who picked up a knock against Liverpool last weekend. Oleksandr Zinchenko joins his teammate on the ‘doubt’ list, whilst Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny will definitely not be involved.
