Huddersfield Town are set to have a real test of the Premier League when they welcome an in-form Tottenham Hotspur at the Kirklees Stadium. The Terriers have lost only a single match this season which proves gaffer David Wagner has been doing his homework pretty strongly.
Spurs have so far maintained an all-win record in their away matches and would be looking forward to keeping their record intact this season but Wagner’s side would be a tough nut to crack although they are winless in the last four matches.
Wagner will have the chance to take full advantage of the home crowd which has been an added bonus this season. The Kirklees Stadium has always been vociferous and in this game, they have to be a little bit louder.
Wagner definitely has some strategy in place to stop the juggernaut of Harry Kane who is looking unstoppable at his moment.
Predicted 4-2-3-1 Huddersfield Town Starting Lineup Against Tottenham Hotspur
Defence
Jonas Lossl has been in command this season and will be in the Terriers goal. Christopher Schindler has been the backbone of this team. A player like Harry Kane can be very dangerous if he is given the gap to exploit. The 27-year-old defender will have the task to keep the English international in check.
Zanka has complimented his partner well in the backline and should get another chance. Chris Löwe will be in his usual left back position.
Tom Smith has been handed the armband this season and the entire team would be looking towards him for an inspirational performance.
Midfield
The pair of Jonathan Hogg and Aaron Mooy has done wonders for the Terriers so far but this game provides an acid test for him.
Hogg will have the duty to mark Christian Eriksen very carefully. Eriksen is the focal point of Spurs’ attack and blocking his path means the Terries could have a real chance in this match.
Aaron Mooy will have the onus to make things happen in the midfield. Perhaps the most energetic and effective player for the Terriers, the 27-year-old will play a vital role in this game.
Attack
Tom Ince has been very spirited with his bundle of energy and should find a place in the starting lineup. Elias Kachunga will be on the right flank.
Abdelhamid Sabiri will be in the no. 10 position. Steve Mounie has been ruled out for a longer period so Laurent Depoitre will be gearing up for a start in this match. Here is how they might line up:
