Without an away victory in the league since November, Arsenal need to improve on the road if they are to make a push for the top four. Their task at Huddersfield will be complicated by a spate of defensive injuries, while the bottom club could give a first league start to Karlan Grant, the striker they signed in January. Jan Siewert’s hope of securing a first win since his appointment as manager are also boosted by the return of his team’s best midfielder. Jonathan Hogg is in line to return alongside Aaron Mooy and Philip Billing. Paul Doyle
