Arsenal to entertain Leeds on January 6

The date has been set for Arsenal’s FA Cup third-round encounter against Leeds United. 

A testing fixture awaits the Gunners, with Marcelo Bielsa’s promotion-chasing side undoubtedly out to engineer an upset at this early stage of the competition. 

As confirmed by BBC Sport broadcast journalist Emma Sanders, the match at the Emirates Stadium will take place on January 6, with a kick-off time of 19:56 PM.

All of the third-round games will begin one minute after usual scheduling times in a bid to raise awareness for mental health issues. 

Arsenal fans will also be able to watch their team in action on Freeview television if they do not get to the Emirates for the match, as BBC One will be broadcasting it on the first Monday of the New Year. 

The Gunners will hope to have reached a definitive conclusion on who their next first-team manager is by the time they face Leeds, with Freddie Ljungberg currently in a caretaker role.
