Newly promoted Premier League outfit Huddersfield Town have chiselled a spectacular start to their season in the English top division, for they have accumulated eight points from their first five games and are currently placed 6th in the league table.
However, they were beaten 1-0 away at the Selhurst Park by Crystal Palace on Tuesday in the League Cup, which implies that they would be itching to bag all three points in their upcoming fixture, where they make a trip to the Turf Moor. Here is how the Terries are expected to line up against the Clarets on Saturday.
Defence
As the custodian, we expect Jonas Lossl to start the proceedings. Lossl has been exceptional so far this season with the gloves and Wagner should continue to stick with him in the league fixtures.
From the right-back slot, we expect Tom Smith’s industry to be seen from the very beginning. His technical and tactical understanding of the game has been exemplary so far. Similarly, on the left-back position, Chris Lowe is likely to be given the nod by Wagner to start the proceedings against Sean Dyche’s troops.
At the heart of Huddersfield Town’s defence, Christopher Schindler and Zanka are likely to be teed up to construct a four-man defensive wall. These two would have the responsibility of playing the ball out from the back and to shield Lossl in a resilient fashion.
Midfield
Philip Billing is anticipated to start in the middle of the park in order to dictate the tempo of the game. Teed up with him should be Aaron Mooy in order to ensure that the backline is adequately cushioned and there are enough of offensive endeavours against the Eagles.
Aldelhamid Sabiri is anticipated to be chalked into the central attacking midfield position. His vision and creativity are absolutely appealing and would help in tearing apart the defence of the home side and fetching to the striker.
Attack
Laurent Depoitre should be leading the line of Huddersfield Town, as the summer signing is a striker with immense quality and calibre and is someone who always tends to make something happen up front.
On the left wing, Tom Ince is seemingly likely to be fitted to show his intriguing attacking prowess whereas on the right wing, Elias Kachunga should be used. They would be primarily entrusted with the responsibilities of stretching the opposition’s defence and fetch Depoitre some juicy deliveries into the box.
This is how they might line up:
