Confirmed line-ups for Huddersfield Town vs Tottenham Hotspur:
Tottenham Hotspur take on relegation battlers Huddersfield Town in the Premier League. The Terriers have been utterly poor so far and are yet to win a single game this season. They have so far picked up two points from two draws, losing the remaining 4 games.
The pressure will certainly start to mount on David Wagner as the season gets more intense. The manager did an exceptional job in keeping the Terriers in the Premier League last season but they are definitely one of the favourites to face the drop this season.
Spurs are now without Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli, with the pair suffering injuries. Both players are out for a month.
Tottenham tend to rely on their midfield to create the chances and make things happen but with both Eriksen and Alli out on the sidelines, Huddersfield have an outside chance to at least come away with a point. Striker Harry Kane is not in the best of forms either and has found it difficult to find the net from open play.
David Wagner should set his side up in a rigid and organised manner at the back as they have conceded a league-high 14 goals this season. The Terriers can definitely sit tight and push at the right moment. They have also struggled to score, as they have got just 3 goals so far. They definitely need to show more intensity in the final third.
It will be a fascinating contest for sure but expect Tottenham to come out on top.
