Fresh off a draw with Manchester United in midweek, Arsenal have a very quick turnaround to the next fixture, as they’ll tangle with Huddersfield Town tomorrow at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners won both Premier League meetings with the Terriers last season (5-0 at home, 1-0 away) and are undefeated all time in 10 matches against them across all competitions (eight wins, two draws).
It’s been a very rough go for David Wagner’s side this season, as they could easily find themselves in the drop zone by the time the weekend is through. They have really struggled in this specific series, having lost eight of their last nine top-flight matches against Arsenal, winning the other, but also failing to score in each defeat.
