Arsenal does not have a great balance in this season’s trips, but starts off with a good run on the Kirklees Stadium in Huddersfield. The two teams meet Saturday at 15:00 in the 26th Premier League. Jan Siewert has the whole lot available for hosts, while Unai Emery does not have Bellerin, Holding and Sokratis.
With 6 consecutive defeats in the last 6 home games, Huddersfield has little enthusiasm for the duel with the “tuners.” Sentenced to relegation, the white-blue band hopes to repeat the defensive accuracy of the tournament match, in which Arsenal won only 1-0. It seems that Huddersfield knows how to “close” in front of “gunners” if they could escape the threat of Aubameyang & Co. in the first match. However, Arsenal has won the most recent three direct duels without a goal (5-0, 1-0, 1-0). The odds move, however, suggest that the guests will not have a slight match over the weekend.
Arsenal is on the 6th place and lost two of the last five stages, being still vulnerable in the defensive, as in Arsene Wenger’s time. With 51-36 goalscorer and three points recovered to the Champions League area, Arsenal faces a terrible fight for the Top 4. Any other outcome outside the Huddersfield victory would be unacceptable for the Londoners, who only won 4 of the 12 Tours played this season (23-25).
Huddersfield is on the 20th place, the last one, with 13-46 golaver and the weakest attack in the first league. There are two or three players there, but even modest defensive Emery can concentrate on their achievements, so Huddersfield has little hope of attacking. Besides, the white-blue men have not scored in the 5-stage championship yet and they come after a 0-5 sec on Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea. Arsenal lost to Manchester City late last (1-3) and we can expect a brave game from hosts, for which the draw is useless.
