3pm Saturday

Huddersfield are heading for almost certain relegation and a 19th league defeat of the season is on the cards when they take on Arsenal at the John Smith's Stadium.

The Terriers need eight more goals to surpass Derby's lowest ever tally of 20, set in the 2006-07 season, but they may struggle to notch against the Gunners, who will be fully focused on keeping their top-four hopes alive.

Arsenal were swept aside at Manchester City last Sunday but a trip to the basement boys should be much more to their liking.
