Ezgjan Alioski has stoked the flames ahead of going head-to-head with Nicolas Pepe once again when Leeds visit Arsenal.

Marcelo Bielsa's men travel to the Emirates on Sunday, ahead of the Gunners in the Premier League table and looking to go one better than their 0-0 draw last November.

It was at Elland Road where Pepe was given a red card by Anthony Taylor for leading with his forehead towards Alioski during the first half, following a consultation with VAR.

The sending off angered Arsenal fans and players, with left back Kieran Tierney having to be led away by staff and team-mates when attempting to confront the Macedonian at full-time.
