PREM: Wolves v Huddersfield preview

Wolves v Huddersfield preview

Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner is confident his struggling side will start scoring more as they prepare to take on high-flying Wolves at Molineux.

Nineteenth-placed Huddersfield have scored just six times in 12 games so far this season - the lowest in the Premier League - but Wagner remains unconcerned by their struggles in front of goal.

"I'm happy that we are creating opportunities. I have a gut feeling we have created more opportunities than we have done in the past," he said.

"Unfortunately, and there are a lot of reasons why, not just one, we have not been able to use all of them and haven't scored enough."

 

David Wagner says Huddersfield's main focus is on securing their next Premier League win rather than getting out of the relegation zone

Meanwhile, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has warned his players not to underestimated Huddersfield this weekend.

 

"It's a good team," said Nuno. "I think they've improved with their last performances and results. We know how hard its going to be, they have their own idea and shape

"We have one more day to train, we're at home, we want to play well and achieve a good performance."

 

Wolves will be without Jonny, who has been ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury he sustained while playing for Spain.

However, fellow wing-back Matt Doherty has recovered from the facial injury that saw him miss out for the Republic of Ireland's matches during the international break.

 

As for Huddersfield, the visitors will be missing defenders Mathias Jorgensen and Chris Lowe for Sunday's trip to Molineux.

Jorgensen sits out a one-game ban after reaching five yellow cards and left-back Lowe sustained a shoulder injury in the recent home draw against West Ham.

Jon Gorenc Stankovic and Erik Durm could fill the respective gaps, while midfielder Danny Williams has recovered from a long-term knee injury.
