EPL: Huddersfield Town v Stoke City preview
Huddersfield Town v Stoke City preview
Huddersfield Town could leapfrog Watford into the top half of the Premier League table with a positive result against Stoke on Boxing Day.
Huddersfield currently sit 11th after coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Southampton on Saturday at St Mary's and head coach David Wagner is not expected to make any changes to the lineup he put out against the Saints.
Stoke relieved the pressure on their boss Mark Hughes by beating West Brom 3-1 at the Britannia Stadium to move up from 17th up to 14th.
The visitors will be looking to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in the Premier League this season.
Jonas Lossl is expected to be fit for Huddersfield after suffering a suspected broken nose in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Southampton, when he was kicked in the face by Saints striker Charlie Austin.
Meanwhile, Stoke are likely to have an unchanged squad when they travel to the John Smith's Stadium.
Erik Pieters remains a major doubt with the injury that forced him off against West Ham and subsequently saw the full-back miss the home win over West Brom on Saturday.
Glen Johnson (knee) has been training and could be back involved, but Bruno Martins Indi is still recovering from his groin injury, while Jese Rodriguez is working on getting back up to speed having returned after spending time in Gran Canaria with his ill son.
