The Arsenal fans getting excited ahead of Leeds United clash amid team news hint

The FA Cup third round weekend may be almost over, but there is one tie still to be played.

And it is a significant one for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal , with Leeds United the visitors to north London for the final tie of the round.

The Gunners will welcome Marcelo Bielsa's side to the Emirates Stadium, with a place in the last 32 of the competition at stake.

Arsenal have been busy preparing for the contest with the Championship league leaders, with the Gunners in training ahead of the game as Arteta gets set for his first FA Cup game as Arsenal head coach.

The Gunners are in good spirits after their 2-0 win against Manchester United on New Year's Day, with the victory being Arteta's first since taking charge.

Photos of the team in training have been posted by the Gunners on social networking website Twitter, with the presence of four players getting some Arsenal fans talking, as can be seen below.

Dani Ceballos, Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Gabriel Martinelli have all been pictured in training with the first team ahead of the game, having missed recent matches through injury.

But the post from Arsenal, which includes the words 'Next step, the return', has attracted plenty of responses from Gunners supporters, who are hoping to see some of the quartet return to action against Leeds.

Bellerin and Martinelli have both been out with hamstring problems in recent weeks, while Ceballos has also had a hamstring problem that has kept him out since October.

Holding has been out with a knee injury in recent weeks.
