Arsenal and Leeds United round off the first batch of FA Cup third-round fixtures as the two sides meet on Monday night.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping for another encouraging win after a superb 2-0 victory over Manchester United last week, though Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds - top of the Championship - are the toughest side the Gunners could have drawn outside of the top flight.
Date: Monday, January 6th, 2020.
Venue: Emirates Stadium, London.
Kick-off time: 7:56 pm GMT.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Leeds
Bielsa will relish the chance of going up against Arteta's Arsenal. There is a real prospect of a cupset here, but if Arsenal are at the same level as against Leeds' Pennines rivals Manchester United, expect a home win.
Head to head (H2H) history and results
Arsenal wins: 46
Draws: 32
Leeds wins: 41
Three of their last four meetingg have come in the FA Cup: Arsenal progressed 1-0 in in the 2011/12 season, and went through a season earlier after winning a replay 3-1.
Team news
Arsenal: Hector Bellerin and Gabriel Martinelli face late fitness tests on hamstring injuries. A third hamstring victim, Dani Ceballos, is closing in on a return.
Sead Kolasinac is likely to be rested after limping off vs Manchester United, while Joe Willock could come in. Eddie Nketiah could play against the side he was formerly on loan for, but that would mean he'd have to remain with the Gunners for the rest of the season.
Injury list: Calum Chambers (knee), Kieran Tierney (shoulder)
Leeds: Bielsa is obviously without Nketiah now, though Robbie Gotts and Illan Meslier will make their debuts.
Predicted lineups
Arsenal: Martinez, Maitland-Niles, Mustafi, Holding, Saka; Willock, Guendouzi; Pepe, Ceballos, Nelson; Aubameyang
Leeds: Meslier, Ayling, White, Cooper, Alioski, Phillips, Helder Costa, Gotts, Klich, Harrison, Bamford

Lacazette needs a confidence boost . Mavro should be given a chance with mustafi . and in goal I would select Macey ahead of Martinez. those who watch Arsenal EFL and Europa would be able to see why Martinez is really a bad goalkeeper. Macey needs a start
