EPL: Liverpool v Huddersfield Town preview

Liverpool v Huddersfield Town preview

Huddersfield will look to build on their shock win over Manchester United when they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Saturday.

The Terriers failed to win a single match in September and they were the big underdogs during the home clash with the Red Devils.

However, David Wagner's men produced the shock of the weekend to secure a 2-1 win and dent United's title hopes.

Last week's win has lifted the mood in the Huddersfield camp and they will be hoping to capitalise on Liverpool's poor form of late.

The Reds have won just one of their last five games and they were embarassed by Tottenham at Wembley last weekend, losing 4-1. Jurgen Klopp's men showed their defensive frailties once again and goals could be expected at Anfield.

Wagner will be boosted by the news that Elias Kachunga has overcome a back problem and the German may name the same team that beat United.

Colin Quaner is pushing for a recall but Kasey Palmer, Michael Hefele and Jon Gorenc Stankovic are all long-term absentees.

Liverpool will be without playmaker Philippe Coutinho due to an abductor injury, but fellow midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is back after recovering from a knee issue.

Both Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet may lose their starting spots as Liverpool will look to extend their strong run against the West Yorkshire outfit.

Huddersfield have not won a top-flight game at Anfield since 1954 and Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 10 league and cup games against Wagner's side.
