The Gunners host Leicester Monday night (8:00 pm).
However, Emery will likely be without star defender Sokratis for the Arsenal clash with the Foxes.
The Greek international was injured in the ankle last week and will be absent Monday night.
It is expected that Mesut Ozil will return after missing Arsenal's trip to Fulham due to spasms on the back.
Petr Cech and Danny Welbeck will have late form tests, but Bernd Leno should start in goal.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Laurent Koscielny are back in training, but neither will face Leicester on Monday.
Emery said before Monday night's shock: "Sokratis had a problem, a small injury.
"Maybe Monday is difficult [for him to play]. "
Upon returning from Koscielny's training to light, Emery added, "He's very important to us because he's our captain.
"He's starting this week training together and it's a very, very good news for us.
"I think we should also trust him, be close to us because it was a very big injury.
"But now he's getting better, he's training with us on some things, and I think that progress is very positive.
"We must be calm with him.
"After more than a month, he feels at first that he is doing certain things well, then when he can play games during the workout, we can start thinking that it's OK to play. "
Arsenal predicts Huddersfield
Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Monreal, Xhaka, Torreira, Ozil, Ramsey, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
