Leeds United have gone into the international break sitting fifth in the Premier League on nine points after five Premier League games.
The Whites have made a solid start to the Premier League campaign and are tipped as dark horses who could qualify for Europe this season.
However, the run of games after the international break will test the squad’s quality. They will travel to Arsenal in their first game back before hosting Manchester United at Elland Road.
The game against the Gunners will be intriguing, as the champions look vulnerable after Brighton thrashed them 3-0 at the Amex Stadium this weekend.

Leeds told to expect a renewed Arsenal after the break
Arsenal looked too good to handle until they faced Brighton this weekend. The Seagulls dominated the Gunners and handed out a 3-0 thrashing.
Fresh questions now surround the north London side, but former Premier League star Christian Fuchs has warned Leeds and other opponents not to read too much into the result.
He is certain that Mikel Arteta will study what went wrong against Brighton and prepare Arsenal better before they take on Leeds at home after the break.
The former Leicester star feels that the defeat at Brighton would eventually be nothing more than a bad day in the office for the Gunners.
Fuchs said on Sky Sports: “As far as I know, Arsenal up until now were really flying.
“It really depends on what the response is, right? If it happens again, it might be a warning sign that other teams are looking into this, and it could work.
“I am pretty sure that Arteta will study that game, take those weeks now to prepare for the upcoming challenges and how to deal with that sort of pressure.
“I believe it was actually just a warning sign, and he will be ready for the next game.”

Leeds will have nothing to lose against Arsenal
Arsenal were one team who handed out thrashings to Leeds both home and away last season. They hammered the Whites 5-0 at home before winning 4-0 at Elland Road.
Leeds were completely outclassed by the eventual champions, something very few teams managed against the Whites last season.
Daniel Farke has a better team at his disposal and players more versed in the Premier League. But they will face an Arsenal side desperate to prove Brighton was a blip.
However, this game is a free hit for the Leeds players as all the pressure will be on Arsenal and the Whites will have nothing to lose at the Emirates.
