Huddersfield Town are not getting the desired results lately with their latest outing ending in a 2-0 loss at the hands of Swansea City last weekend. As a result, Huddersfield are placed 12th in the league table with 9 points to their name and David Wagner must be a tensed manager at this point of the campaign.
On Saturday, Manchester United are due to make a trip to John Smith’s Stadium in order to clash against Huddersfield Town. Jose Mourinho’s men are in a splendid form in the league, with 20 points to their name after 8 games and are placed 2nd.
4-2-3-1 Huddersfield Town Predicted Line-up Vs Manchester United
Defence
Jonas Lossl has been the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for Huddersfield Town so far this season and should continue to keep his place between the sticks with the gloves on. He does have a huge test ahead of him this weekend.
Ahead of Lossl, we expect Wagner to pencil a four-man defensive wall comprising of Tommy Smith and Chris Lowe at the fullback positions and the duo of Mathias Jorgensen and Christopher Schindler likely to be engineered at the central defensive position. Michael Hefele is still out with his Achilles tendon problems.
Smith hasn’t been very prolific at right-back so far and he has to uplift his productivity. Chris Lowe, from the left-back position, has to strike a fine balance between his attacking and defensive endeavours to face the visitors. The central defensive partnership needs to be strong between Schindler and Jorgensen.
Midfield
Aaron Mooy and Jonathan Hogg would be handed the humungous responsibility of shielding their defensive line. Besides, they have to make a series of transitions from their defensive duties into offensive endeavours and ensure that they give their best in order to dictate the tempo of the game.
Mooy and Hogg need to read the game meticulously and they simply cannot afford to be complacent against such a fearsome opposition. Tom Ince is anticipated to be used as the no. 10 against Jose Mourinho’s troops to create chances for his teammates and push the game forward. Kasey Palmer is out with a hamstring injury.
Attack
While Rajiv van La Parra is expected to be used at the left-wing, Elias Kachunga should find himself on the right to jot down juicy deliveries into the box, stretch the defensive line of the Manchester United and ensure regular supply to their striker. Right up front, Laurent Depoitre should start as Steve Mounie continues to recover from his heel bone injury.
