Arsenal boss Arteta fired 'bang average' warning over Leeds game

Arsenal news as the Gunners' stand-in players received backlash for Europa League loss ahead of Leeds United clash

Tony Adams has told Leeds United how they can beat Arsenal in this afternoon's Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners face the relegation threatened side looking to take another step towards their first league title in 19 years.

Leeds face tough task to leave the capital with all three points. The Whites have won only six league games all season and are only two points above the relegation zone.

"The back-up players looked bang average and were played off the park by Sporting Lisbon. At the moment they need Bukayo, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Oleks Zinchenko playing every week because they have a team that almost picks itself. But I’m sure they’ll give Bukayo that hefty new contract to keep him at the Emirates because they know he is irreplaceable.

"If there’s a better player in world football at the moment, someone who both scores and makes goals, the only one I can think of is Lionel Messi. Bukayo is absolutely on fire and the reason Arsenal are top of the table."
