Arsenal could move back into the top four today with a positive result over Huddersfield this afternoon at the Emirates.

Here are nine match facts and stats (provided by OPTA) you should know prior to kick-off:

1. Arsenal won both Premier League meetings against Huddersfield Town last season (5-0 at home, 1-0 away) and are unbeaten in 10 games against them in all competitions (W8 D2).

2. Huddersfield have lost eight of their last nine top-flight matches against Arsenal (W1), failing to score in each defeat.

3. Arsenal are now 20 games unbeaten in all competitions (W15 D5 L0); their longest run without a defeat since November 2007 (28 unbeaten).

4. Huddersfield have collected just two points in their seven away Premier League matches against the ‘big six’ clubs (W0 D2 L5), scoring just twice in those seven games.

5. Since winning 3-0 away at Crystal Palace in their first ever Premier League match, Huddersfield have failed to win any of their subsequent four league visits to London (W0 D1 L3).

7. Although Huddersfield have only won one of their last 10 away games in the Premier League (D5 L4), they’ve not lost back-to-back games on the road in the competition since March.

8. Arsenal haven’t led any of their 15 Premier League games at half-time this season (drawing 11, losing four).
