Huddersfield vs Arsenal result: Premier League football as it happened - LIVE!

Huddersfield vs Arsenal LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: John Smith's Stadium

Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette scored first-half goals as Arsenal got their top-four hopes back on track with a 2-1 win at Huddersfield.

Iwobi opened the scoring with a deflected volley in the first period and Lacazette stroked home his 12th goal of the season shortly before half-time.

Sead Kolasinac's own goal in stoppage time raised a huge cheer from the Huddersfield faithful, but it was too little too late.

The Gunners secured their first Premier League away win since November as they moved level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea.

Score prediction: Huddersfield 1-3 Arsenal

Given Huddersfield have lost their last three games to make it 18 defeats in 25 this season, it would take something remarkable for Jan Siewert's side to beat Arsenal on Saturday - let alone think about avoiding relegation.

Arsenal fans will expect to win - and win well - on Saturday, though the Gunners have lost five away games in the League this season, including four of their last five.

Head to Head history (h2h)

The teams have met three times in the Premier League, with Arsenal winning every game.

Arsenal beat Huddersfield 1-0 at the Emirates earlier this term, and last season's two wins (1-0 away and 5-0 at home) mean the Terriers are yet to score against the Gunners in the Premier League.
