Match Preview:

Last season this was Arsene Wenger’s final game of his managerial career at Arsenal in a season where The Gunners failed to finish in the top four. As Arsenal go back to Huddersfield they are still, it seems, playing catch up and are in 6^th place.

The best Unai Emery’s team can hope for this season looks like being 4^th and the good news is that just 3 points is the difference, the bad news is that Manchester United and Chelsea stand in their way. Still The Gunners will be big favourites to win this game against Huddesfield at the weekend.

Form for Arsenal has been decent with 3 wins from their past five games including beating a top 4 rival in Chelsea. But they have also lost to West Ham and were exposed to Manchester City as league pretenders last weekend when they lost 3-1.

However there have to be some truths for Arsenal and that is the club haven’t changed from last season how poor they have been on the road. They come into this game having lost their last 3 matches, conceding 9 goals in those games. We have to go back 3 months until the last time the club won on the road.

Huddersfield are a massive 13 points from safety and will be getting relegated. If they accept this the club actually might start to pick up some results. They have won just 2 times this season and their last game ended in a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea. They have picked up just 1 point from their last 15.

At home their long suffering fans have had to endure 10 defeats from 13 games and have seen their side win just one game. They have won just 4 points from the last 30 in front of their own fans.
