Huddersfield vs Arsenal
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: John Smith's Stadium
Date: Saturday, February 9, 2019
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Arsenal will be looking to boost their top four chances on Saturday as they take a trip to face rock-bottom Huddersfield Town.
A 3-1 defeat at Manchester City has left the Gunners sixth in the table, though there is no cause for immediate panic with Manchester United and Chelsea one and three points ahead respectively.
Having slipped down the pecking order, an away clash against Huddersfield could be the perfect tonic for Unai Emery's men, with the Terriers sitting on 11 points with just two wins all season.
Arsenal team news and predicted line-up
Arsenal's defensive injury crisis continues with Hector Bellerin (ACL) and Sokratis Papastathopolous (ankle) out, while Shkidran Mustafi (back) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (knee) are doubts.
Granit Xhaka (groin) is a doubt in midfield, and Danny Welbeck (ankle) and Rob Holding (ACL) remain long-term absentees for the Gunners
Arsenal XI: Leno, Lichtsteiner, Koscielny, Monreal Kolasinac, Torreira, Guendouzi, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette
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.
