Arsenal look for three points at home against Huddersfield
Kick-off : 7:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Emirates Stadium, London
The Gunners are currently on fourth place in the table with 25 points. They know they will need to keep winning games to be in the title race.
Alexis Sanchez saved the day for Arsenal at the weekend against Burnley as he converted the penalty to make it 1-0. That win took them above Spurs.
Manchester City are on top of the table with 37 points from 13 games. Arsenal are 12 points behind and their chances are slim to win the league.
On the other hand, Huddersfield are 13th in the table with 15 points. They will hope they provide a sterner test for Arsene Wenger’s men on Wednesday night.
So far Arsenal and Huddersfield have played each other 74 times. Out of that the Gunners have won 33 times while Huddersfield have won 16 times, 25 other games have been a draw.
It should be a good game on Wednesday night as both teams will give their all.
