Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leeds United

Arsenal will be desperate to avoid a third Premier League defeat on the bounce when they host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta recently witnessed his formerly solid side lose twice in the space of a week, with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa both sending the Gunners home from the West Midlands with zero points to their name.

The top-four dream looks set to stay a dream for Arsenal unless they can return to winning ways straight away, but Leeds held Arteta's side to a 0-0 draw - a game the Whites probably should have won - at Elland Road back in November.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

Thomas Partey's injury-plagued start to life in North London continued on Saturday as he was forced off in the second half against Villa with a hamstring problem. In a huge blow to the Gunners, Partey has now been ruled out of this game.

Status: Out Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: Unknown

Kieran Tierney has been a major miss for Arsenal down the left-hand side, and the former Celtic man did not shake off a calf problem in time to face Villa. The left-back should return to training next week, but he will play no part against Leeds.

David Luiz and Bernd Leno are both back from suspensions served last weekend, and the Gunners have no other players banned for this tie.
