Arsenal come into the fixture with head held high, defeating Burnley at their back yard in injury time. Heck of a way to get three points. Arsene Wenger will be delighted but now will be looking to comfortably get past opponents.

On the other side, Huddersfield played hard ball against premiership leaders Manchester City – who had to get their sweats out to come out victorious. Huddersfield looked tough opponents – defending deep and attacking hard.
