PREM: Huddersfield v Brighton preview


Huddersfield v Brighton preview

Huddersfield welcome back defender Mathias Jorgensen as they look to continue their positive run of form against Brighton on Saturday.


The Terriers have taken seven points from their last three matches, including a 2-0 win over Wolves on Sunday.

Jorgensen was suspended for the last game but is set to return as Huddersfield aim to move further clear of the Premier League relegation zone.

Head coach David Wagner said: "We are aware we have a big, big chance, with our supporters in our back, to get another result against them.

"We'd like to grab this chance with both hands, but we have to be at our best again, we have to confirm what we showed on Sunday even more and that's exactly what we want to do."

Brighton drew against Leicester last time out to avoid a third straight defeat.

Glenn Murray, 35, scored his seventh goal of the season in the draw, and Brighton manager Chris Hughton said: "It is unusual for somebody of Glenn's age to be as regularly fit as he is, and of course scoring goals at the highest levels.

"He has a great desire to want to continue playing and at the best level he can, and also scoring goals. But it's one thing saying that and another actually doing it. So we're very thankful that he is actually doing it."

Chris Lowe is unavailable for Huddersfield due to a shoulder injury.

Terence Kongolo is a doubt after suffering a knock against Wolves while striker Laurent Depoitre will be assessed as he has a groin problem.

Brighton have no new concerns, however, and expect to make the trip north with a relatively injury-free squad.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh remains sidelined for Brighton with a hamstring injury while Dale Stephens serves the second match of his three-game suspension.
