EPL: Huddersfield v Brighton preview
Huddersfield v Brighton preview
Huddersfield will aim to halt an alarming slump in form when Brighton make the trip to the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday.
The Terriers enjoyed an impressive start to their debut Premier League season but four straight defeats has seen the club slip to 16th place in the table, just five points above the relegation zone.
David Wagner's men have shipped 13 goals across those four losses, finding the back of the net just once themselves, and another defeat could see the Yorkshire outfit dragged closer to the relegation zone.
Huddersfield's home form has made for decent viewing in recent weeks, having won two of the last three matches in their own backyard, and this could prove crucial come the end of the campaign.
Wagner will be without Philip Billing, Jon Gorenc Stankovic and Michael Hefele through injury, Rajiv van La Parra is unavailable due to suspension whilst Martin Cranie will hopefully feature despite not training on Thursday.
Brighton's season has been a success so far, having picked up 17 points, and a fifth win of the campaign could see the club jump into the top-10 depending on how other results go over the weekend.
The Seagulls are without a win in their last four outings, most recently suffering a 5-1 thumping at the hands of Liverpool, but Chris Hughton says the squad have been training really well this week.
Midfielder Steve Sidwell is the only absentee for the visitors and the manager is hoping the clean bill of health remains as the games start to come thick and fast.
