Arsenal are coming off a really strong performance on the road against Manchester United and extended their undefeated streak to a whopping 20 matches in all competitions. They will now have a theoretically easy match at home, where they will play host to Huddersfield on Saturday. Huddersfield played a really frustrating match on the road and will surely come here looking to get some points.

Arsenal (9-2-4) did a great job in their away match against Manchester United on Wednesday and managed to leave unscathed. They even took the lead at the first half but Manchester United pulled even at the 30th minute. Arsenal pulled even once again at the 68th minute when United scored an own goal, but United scored a regular goal in the next minute for the final 2-2. Arsenal are now sitting at the 5th spot of the Premier League with 31 points, just as many as Chelsea. The Gunners have been really strong at home so far (5-1-2 in the league), where they have three more wins and a draw in other competitions. They have only kept three clean sheets at home and have scored multiple goals on eight occasions. Huddersfield (2-9-4) are coming off a really frustrating away match against Bournemouth on Tuesday, where they feel they should have earned some points. They were not very careful at the start of the match and saw their opponents take a two-goal lead by the 22nd minute. Huddersfield scored a goal at the 38th and were really pushing for an equalizer, they actually dominated their opponents but the result didn’t change. Huddersfield are now sitting at the 17th spot of the league table with 10 points, just one ahead of the relegation zone. They have the worst offense in the league with just 10 goals and the fifth worst defense with 26 conceded. Huddersfield have only won a single match on the road so far (1-6-2), where they have scored 7 goals and have conceded 16.

Arsenal managed to avoid the loss on the road against Manchester United and should be able to extend their undefeated streak against a much weaker Huddersfield side. However, Huddersfield must be feeling really frustrated about the outcome of their last match and might lash out here. I wouldn’t be surprised if the visitors scored a goal here, so I will take the Over 3 Goals on this one.
