Unai Emery on Arsenal's away troubles ahead of Huddersfield clash

Arsenal survived a scare to grind out a win over Huddersfield Town to boost their hopes of finishing inside the top four.

The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.

But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.

Relive the action as it happened above.

Some crucial clashes coming up at both ends of the table in the 3pm games.

Southampton in 16th play Cardiff in 18th, with the hosts looking to rise to 13th with a win over the Bluebirds.

Liverpool can get back to winning ways against Bournemouth to go top of the table after Man City closed the gap by beating Everton in midweek.

It's also 8th vs 9th as Watford face Everton, while Palace in 14th, who welcome back Wilfried Zaha, host London rivals West Ham in 12th.
