Mikel Arteta has named his Arsenal side for Saturday's Premier League home fixture against Leeds United, making three changes from the team beaten 3-0 at Brighton last month.

Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa all start despite carrying injury concerns during the international break, with Arteta confirming the trio fit enough to feature from the off.

Ben White returns at right-back after missing the Brighton trip due to a groin problem. Noni Madueke comes in to replace Christos Tzolis, who faces several weeks on the sidelines following an injury sustained while on international duty with Greece in the Nations League.

The third change sees Myles Lewis-Skelly restored to central midfield. Bruno Guimaraes and Jurrien Timber, both starters at the Amex Stadium, drop to the substitutes' bench.

Arsenal: Raya; White, Gabriel, Konsa, Calafiori; Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Madueke, Havertz.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Timber, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Merino, Guimaraes, Eze, Dowman, Gyokeres.
