Tarik Muharemovic and Leeds United return to Premier League action with one of the biggest challenges of the season so far, travelling to London to face reigning champions Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The match will be played on Saturday, October 10, with kick-off at 12:30 UK time. Leeds arrive in north London unbeaten in their opening five Premier League matches, while Arsenal sit second after collecting 12 points from five games.
A huge test for Leeds' defence
For Muharemovic, the trip to the Emirates represents another major test at the highest level of English football. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international has been part of a Leeds side that has made an impressive start to the new league campaign.
Leeds have collected nine points from their first five matches, recording two wins and three draws. Their most recent league outing ended in a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace, while one of the standout results was the 4-1 victory over Newcastle United.
Muharemovic started the Crystal Palace match in Leeds' defensive line and continues to strengthen his role in Daniel Farke's squad.
Arsenal looking for a response
Arsenal won their opening four league matches before suffering a 3-0 defeat away to Brighton immediately before the international break. Mikel Arteta's side will therefore be looking for a response in front of their own supporters.
Muharemovic's next big Premier League challenge
Matches against England's strongest teams are becoming an important part of Muharemovic's development. After building his reputation in Italy and earning a move to Leeds, the Bosnian defender now has the opportunity to test himself against the defending Premier League champions.
His progress in England can be followed through the Tarik Muharemovic Leeds United career page, while his latest club and international numbers are available in the complete statistics section.
