Arsenal vs. Huddersfield: confirmed lineups

The Arsenal team, led by Arsene Wenger, is coming off a narrow victory over Burnley with a penalty goal from Alexis Sánchez. Despite winning four of their last five games, the team is not exactly in a calm environment, as there is more talk about the possible departures of Alexis, Özil, and Wilshere, although the coach has ruled them out.

"We want them to stay; that's what we've said repeatedly," Wenger responded on Tuesday when asked about the future of these players.

"As long as they are here, they will give everything for the club. They will stay until the end of the season and, unless something incredible happens, I don't think that will change," he added.

On the other hand, Huddersfield is looking to pull off another surprise after defeating Manchester United a few rounds ago and making Manchester City work harder than expected in their last game, which ended in a very tight and even match.

Huddersfield, promoted this season, is currently in 13th place with 15 points, while Arsenal is in fourth place with 25.

Arsenal vs. Huddersfield: probable lineups:

Arsenal: Cech; Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Bellerín, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac; Alexis, Iwobi; Lacazette.

Huddersfield: Lossl; Smith; Zanka, Schindler, Malone; Hogg, Williams; Kachunga, Mooy, Ince; Depoitre.

Result: Arsenal 5 - 0 Huddersfield

The Arsenal, with a display by German Mesut Özil, who provided two assists and scored a goal, defeated Huddersfield Town (5-0) at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday and stays close to Chelsea and Manchester United, who also won their matches on Matchday 14 of the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger's team has won three consecutive league victories and solidifies its position in the Champions League spots, with 28 points in the standings.

The newly promoted Huddersfield kept up with the fourth-place team in the league for less than three minutes, which is how long it took Xhaka and Ramsey to connect in a wonderful play in which the Welshman left the ball with a spectacular back-heel pass to Lacazette to open the scoring.

With the advantage on the scoreboard, the 1-0 was broken when Mesut Özil wanted it. His impressive second half served to make Arsenal kill the game in record time, three minutes and 58 seconds.

That's how long it took Özil to make an impact, with two assists, first to Giroud, who had just entered the field, and then to Alexis Sánchez, to seal his night with a goal in the 72nd minute.

In the week in which Wenger has denied that Özil and Álexis will leave the team in the winter market, the German, and to a lesser extent the Chilean, vindicated their role within a team that depends a lot on them for their aspirations to succeed.

In the next match, Arsenal will face a crucial duel against Manchester United at home (Saturday, 17:30 GMT), while Huddersfield will face Everton at Goodison Park (Saturday, 15:00 GMT).
