Arsenal and Leeds United meet in the fourth round of the EFL Cup tonight, with the away side welcoming a contest outside of the league, after a difficult start to their second campaign back in the top flight. 

The Gunners, who have turned a corner after three straight defeats to start the season, are now unbeaten in their last six, accumulating 14 points in the process.

With a place in the quarter-finals at stake, both clubs will be striving to get their name back in the hat, with a trip to Wembley edging closer.

The two sides are yet to play each other in the league this season, but the away side will be hoping to inflict defeat on Arsenal, as last time out, they could only manage a draw and a loss, whilst they fell two points short in the final standings.
