Leeds United take on Arsenal away from home this weekend, in their latest Premier League fixture. 

The Whites head into the match after the international break, taking on the Gunners who are currently top of the league following an impressive campaign so far. 

Speaking ahead of the trip to Emirates Stadium, Javi Gracia gave his thoughts on the game.

"We are looking for the next game and focusing on the next game,” the head coach stated. 

“For sure we know we are playing against the team at the top of the table and it will be very demanding for us. 

“To have one option to get a good result, the first step is to believe you can do it. The team believes we can do it. 

“We are playing against the team at the top of the table and we have to be ready for that. 

“They do many things well, it’s a team you can see in the stats, against Bournemouth for example they had 80% possession and in other games around 70. 

“You have to be ready to defend more than attack, then when you are attacking be aggressive and try to take advantage of the chances you have.” 

The Leeds United head coach was specifically asked about coming up against one of the Premier League’s star players this season, Bukayo Saka. 

“He’s one of the key players they have,” Gracia commented. 

“But, if you analyse the whole squad you can see international players in all the positions, high quality players in all the positions. 

“We are ready to defend this team as a team, not only an individual.”
