David Moyes’s resurgent West Ham will be relishing the opportunity to take on a fellow relegation rival as they travel up to Yorkshire to take on floundering Huddersfield. David Wagner has done a remarkable job with the Terriers and with over half of the season played they look well placed to steer clear of the relegation picture this season – barring a real collapse.
