FAC: Bolton v Huddersfield preview

Bolton v Huddersfield preview

Bolton are looking to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup for the eighth time in the last nine seasons against Huddersfield.

It's 60 years since Bolton lifted the FA Cup and they come into game in good form having recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Since winning their opening two Premier League games, Huddersfield have won just four of their last 20 matches.

Town boss David Wagner is under no illusions of the tough test that awaits the Premier League side.

He said: "There is no doubt we have to be at our very best to go through. We have a lot of respect for Championship teams because we played there for a lot of the club's history and we know how good the teams in it are."

Bolton are without midfielders Karl Henry and Darren Pratley.

The pair were both injured in Monday's victory over Hull with Pratley facing six weeks out with a hairline fracture of the fibula and Henry straining a hamstring.

Another midfielder, Josh Vela, may also be unavailable having missed training this week due to illness.

Forward Adam Armstrong has been recalled from his loan spell at Wanderers by Newcastle.

New signing Terence Kongolo will be in the squad for Huddersfield after joining on loan from Monaco this week.

Midfielder Philip Billing (ankle) could return after nearly three months out while Jon Gorenc Stankovic has returned to training as he works his way back from a long-term knee injury.

Joel Coleman will start in goal, but defender Chris Lowe is unavailable after picking up a foot injury during Monday's loss to Leicester and could also miss next weekend's Premier League clash with West Ham.
