Arsenal will travel to John Smith Stadium to face Huddersfield in Week 26 of the Premier League on Saturday (09/02) night. Arsenal must win if they do not want to be left behind from the top 4 position.

Arsenal’s disease recurred this season. Like the previous seasons if Arsenal are able to perform amazingly and consistently in the first round or at least until December, their performance in the beginning of the year will experience a setback.

This season, the same thing is also experienced by Arsenal. In fact, the decline in Arsenal’s performance has started from mid-December, where they had recorded 1 victory and swallowed 3 defeats in 5 matches. In his last match last week Arsenal fell 1-3 at Manchester City headquarters and the defeat made Arsenal’s position slipped to rank 6 and is now 3 points behind Chelsea who occupy the final slot towards the Champions League.

The Gunners must get up immediately, if not their chance to compete again in the Champions League will diminish. Moreover, there is an increase in performance that is being experienced by one of their competitors, Manchester United. For now, Manchester United’s move seems unstoppable and this should be a whip for Arsenal to get up.

The opportunity for Arsenal to come up at the end of this week. They will face Huddersfield who are minus self-confidence. The Cherries are increasingly immersed in the bottom of the standings due to a series of negative results they got since the beginning of December. Counted, Huddersfield were without a win in the last 14 games in the Premier League with only one point to secure.

The poor conditions that are being experienced by Huddersfield should open the opportunity for the Gunners to get up and return to winning ways. However, Arsenal must also be wary of Huddersfield’s ambitions which are still struggling to survive the relegation snare. Although Huddersfield’s chances of avoiding degradation are quite small, they will continue to fight until the last drop of blood.
