Arsenal host Huddersfield Town in tonight’s second set of Premier League midweek fixtures.

Arsenal have made the Emirates into a fortress winning 11 straight Premier League games and will be expected to keep up that streak tonight.

However, will they be able to continue their run against an impressive Huddersfield side?

The Gunners came away from Burnley with all three points in the bag after a dramatic stoppage time penalty from Alexis Sanchez gave them the victory at the weekend.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield can count themselves as unfortunate to lose to runaway league leaders Manchester City.

David Wagner’s side were dogged and resolute throughout the game and it took the fortuitous effort by Raheem Sterling to seal the victory.

Arsene Wenger could be without Alex Iwobi after he suffered a dead leg on Sunday.

He replaced an unwell Mesut Ozil, who was sent back to London before the Burnley game by the club’s doctor.

However, the German could play tonight after being pictured training yesterday.

Santi Cazorla remains a long-term injury problem.

In terms of who starts tonight, Arsene Wenger may have an eye on the Manchester Utd game on Saturday, but he was keen to stress at his press conference that he will prioritise tonight’s game.

Huddersfield are without Philip Billing, Michael Hefele and Jon Stankovic through injury, whilst Rajiv van la Parra is suspended because he picked up a red card after the final whistle against Manchester City on Sunday.

What time is kick-off?

The match is on Wednesday 28 November with kick-off at 7.45pm.

The game will not be televised live in the UK.
