PREM: Huddersfield v Newcastle preview

Huddersfield v Newcastle preview

David Wagner has called on Huddersfield Town to turn good performances into points ahead of their home match with Newcastle United on Saturday.

The Terriers are in the Premier League relegation zone after losing their last three matches in a row.

They would move level on points with Newcastle if they win this weekend, and Wagner said: "We will try everything to make sure we have the same points as Newcastle after the game on Saturday.

"We have to make sure we find the areas to cause them problems and that we limit their strengths.

"After our games, people are always saying a good performance and not the result we've deserved. We need to change that."

Huddersfield are missing several players, including midfielder Aaron Mooy, who has been ruled out until February with a knee injury.

Newcastle have taken one point from their last three games, losing 2-1 at home to Wolves last time out.

However, manager Rafa Benitez was awarded the November Manager of the Month award following three wins last month.

Mooy, Tommy Smith, Danny Williams and Abdelhamid Sabiri are out injured for Huddersfield and Steve Mounie serves the last of a three-match ban.

Terence Kongolo and Jonathan Hogg should be fine to feature after recovering from injuries and Philip Billing is available following suspension.

DeAndre Yedlin is suspended for Newcastle, while Florian Lejeune (knee), Jonjo Shelvey (thigh), Federico Fernandez (calf) and Karl Darlow (elbow) are out. However, Fabian Schar is available again.
