Whilst the personnel for Thursday’s defeat at Koln was wholly different, the premise remains the same for Arsenal who cannot seem to string results together. However, Arsenal are 6th, level on points with 5th placed Liverpool and only 1 point behind arch-rivals Spurs in 4th position – despite conceding 16 goals already in their opening 12 games. Alexandre Lacazette has scored 6 goals since his summer arrival and provided his first assist against Spurs, indicating the Frenchman is adapting to life in the Gunners side.
Huddersfield Town
David Wagner’s men continue to defy logic with their resolute, organised performances in the Premier League. Their away form is a little alarming however with just one win on the road, the Terriers have shipped 7 goals in their last 2 away games. Despite only managing 8 goals this term, Huddersfield’s defence has been very difficult to break down and in Aaron Mooy (2 goals this season) they have one of the league’s brightest creative talents.
Head to Head
Two of the giants of English football in the early days of the football league, Arsenal and Huddersfield Town both have decorated histories. Arsenal hold the superior head to head record with 33 wins in comparison to Huddersfield’s 16 with another 25 games ending in draws. The sides last met in 2011 in the FA Cup, with the Gunners winning 2-1, whilst the last league meeting between the sides was in 1972.
