Arsenal will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to 21 games when they entertain Huddersfield Town in North London.

Unai Emery’s side threw the lead away twice in midweek to draw with Manchester United but it saw them take four points from a tough week of fixtures after their victory over Tottenham.

David Wagner’s outfit looked to have turned a corner with a 2-0 win at Wolves at the end of last month but have lost both their games since against Brighton and Bournemouth, and they face another tall order here. Follow the live action below:

Player to watch

Alexandre Lacazette: The Frenchman has scored two goals in the last two games which have proven crucial in Arsenal’s win in the North London Derby and their draw at Old Trafford in midweek. The strikes took Lacazette’s tally to six goals from nine games, and with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looking weary at Old Trafford the Gunners will be looking to the former Lyon forward for some firepower as the busy Christmas period approaches.

GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace (James McArthur, 6 minutes)

A free kick is delivered into the West Ham box and won by former Hammer James Tomkins, who flicks it on to James McArthur, lurking in space and able to jab it past Lukasz Fabianski to give Palace the early lead.

Manchester United 0-0 Fulham, 10 minutes

Ten minutes in at Old Trafford.

Diogo Dalot twice delivers into the Fulham box, but first Denis Odoi (with his head) and then Sergio Rico (with his gloves) are able to clear and claim to prevent any danger.
