After a three-week absence for an extended international break, the Premier League returns to action as defending champions Arsenal host Leeds United in the first game back to club football.
The Gunners have been itching to get back to league play after they went into the international window on a low, suffering an ugly 3-0 defeat to Brighton that saw them slip below beleaguered Manchester City for the early title lead.
Leeds, meanwhile, have enjoyed an extremely strong start to the league season, unbeaten through five matches to put them fifth in the table with plenty more of the season remaining.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
