Arsenal vs Huddersfield injuries and suspensions

Emery looks set to welcome back a defender but has just lost a key center-back to injury. Rob Holding, who has been a key figure in Unai's back-four, is set to spend between six to nine months on the sideline after picking up a knee injury in the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.

Laurent Koscielny is back but is unlikely to make his return this weekend, with an appearance in the Europa League next week being more likely. Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil are doubts but Granit Xhaka should return after seeing out his suspension in the Man United clash.

Philip Billing and Steve Mounie are suspended for the away side while Abdelhamid Sabiri has been ruled out with a broken collarbone. Chris Lowe, however, is tipped to return.

Key talking points

Can Arsenal's stars brush off the "hippy crack" controversy?

The Gunners have been hit with a recent controversy, as a number of their key players were filmed inhaling laughing gas, also known as "hippy crack", in a party days before the season kicked off. While the likes of Aubameyang and Lacazette can be forgiven due to their excellent performance this season, one may wonder how Emery will react to Ozil's involvement in this incident amid claims of friction between the player and manager.

Will Huddersfield improve their odds of surviving with an Emirates Stadium win?

Not only would it earn them an impressive away win over one of the league's top six sides, but it would end Huddersfield's losing run. Furthermore, with the Terriers sitting a point above the relegation zone, defeat could see them drop into the bottom three.
