Arsenal will head to Elland Road sitting at the apex of the Premier League table, having all of their Premier League games bar Manchester United this season.

Despite going into the tie as favourites, the Gunners will be wary of the danger posed by Leeds, who have a formidable record at home, winning three and drawing two in their last five home games.

Elsewhere in Spain, FC Barcelona will hope to dust themselves from a disappointing midweek draw with Inter Milan when they cross swords with bitterest rivals Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the El Clasico.

For the clash they will also be sporting Drake's "OVO" logo as their sponsor, celebrating the fact he was the first artist to reach 50 billion streams on Spotify - whom the club are sponsored by, as reported by BBC.
