Leeds United started life back in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Everton at Elland Road on Monday night, and they take on Arsenal next at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Leeds will be facing one of their fiercest oppositions this season this weekend given how impressive the Gunners have been in the last three seasons.

It’s in memory of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva who sadly passed away in a car accident over the summer. Every game in Matchday 1 of the 2025–26 season will be marked with the same rituals: players wearing black armbands, a minute’s silence before kick-off and tribute messages on the screens.
