Gyokeres has yet to score in his five appearances for Arsenal this season

Arsenal face a challenging period as injuries to Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis will likely force changes in their attacking lineup. Mikel Arteta had relied on the same front four for the first five Premier League matches, but now the team must adapt. Eberechi Eze could step in as a left-wing option, but Viktor Gyokeres is poised to replace Havertz as centre-forward, marking a significant moment in his Arsenal career.

Gyokeres has struggled to make an impact this season, failing to score in five appearances and managing only one shot in 192 minutes of play. His limited game time has raised questions about his fit within Arteta's system, particularly with Havertz establishing himself as the preferred option. However, Gyokeres has a strong record against Leeds, having scored three goals in two matches against them last season, which could boost his confidence.

The Swedish forward had a successful international break, scoring in every match for Sweden. This mirrors a previous situation where he found form after international duty, scoring four goals in two games to help Sweden qualify for the World Cup. This resurgence led to a productive spell at Arsenal, where he scored five goals in eight matches, contributing to their Premier League title win.

As Arsenal prepares for a crucial match against Leeds, the team will be looking to Gyokeres to seize this opportunity and kickstart his stalling career. The upcoming fixtures will test the depth of Arsenal's squad and Arteta's ability to adapt under pressure. With the stakes high, Gyokeres' performance could be pivotal in determining his future at the club.
