Before Kick-Off

Victory for Huddersfield in this game would put them level on points with Newcastle. A victory for the Magpies would open up a 6 point gap on the Terriers. Despite the season not reaching the halfway point yet, this was a classic 6 pointer.

Both of these fixtures were settled by 1-0 score lines last season, and with Huddersfield having only scored 3 goals at home all season, a high-scoring affair was not to be expected. Newcastle have been decent on the road this season, only suffering defeats in Manchester, a city where they conceded 5 of just 7 away goals so far.

The absence of the injured Aaron Mooy, who scored the winner in this fixture last season, could prove to be crucial in deciding the destination of the points.
