Huddersfield
BurnleyThe Terriers have had a solid start to the season and find themselves in 11th place in the Premier League table. Their 3-match unbeaten run has seen them pick up 23 points from 20 games, form that if replicated, will propel the Yorkshiremen towards Premier League football next season. Tom Ince opened his account for Huddersfield last time out against Stoke and the former England Under 21 international could well now kick on in the Premier League.
Burnley
The plaudits continue to roll in for Sean Dyche and Burnley who sit pretty in the Premier League, with 33 points from their opening 20 games. They were minutes away from clinching a famous win over Manchester United and have picked up points on the road at Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool too this season. Ashley Barnes opened the scoring at Old Trafford and now has 3 goals for the season for the Clarets.
Head to Head
Burnley just edge the head to head between the sides with a 33:27 head to head advantage over Huddersfield, with another 12 games ending as draws.
Their meeting earlier in the season was a turgid affair and ended as a 0-0 draw at Turf Moor back in September.
