The match comes in the middle of a tough run of fixtures for Marcelo Bielsea's team which includes visits to both Manchester City and Liverpool, and this on the back of a 3-2 loss at Chelsea. 
 
Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 3-0 triumph over Southampton at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners host West Ham United on Wednesday before traveling to Leeds on the weekend. 

"We dominated the game, we scored three really good goals, we probably could have scored more as well. I’m really happy because we had some big performances as well," said Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, following their convincing win over the Saints. 

"We have to score goals in many different ways. It cannot always be like that (first goal) and today we’ve done it in three different ways. We looked much more of a threat, we were attacking more vertically and I’m really happy."

Arsenal took four points off Leeds last season. The north London club followed a 0-0 draw away with a 4-2 win on home soil. Club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick in that match for the Gunners.
