Manchester United have recruited very well in January as they have brought in Alexis Sanzhez from Arsenal to make him the highest paid player in the Premier League. Sanchez looks set to make his home debut against a Huddersfield side that have been struggling of late and are in danger of dropping ominously close to the relegation zone.

Manchester United
Huddersfield TownManchester United
The reds have been in great form in 2018, winning all 5 of their matches so far and have yet to concede a goal in all competitions. With 53 points from 24 games they sit 2nd in the table – 12 points behind leaders Manchester City who will have one eye on the reds over their shoulder. Romelu Lukaku has notched 17 goals for the reds in all competitions and has gone some way towards repaying the £75 million spent on him in the summer of 2017.
Huddersfield Town
The Terriers have struggled for form in recent weeks – with their only win in 2018 coming against Bolton in the FA Cup. They currently sit 14th, 2 points above the drop zone with 14 games of the season remaining. They have only managed to register 19 Premier League goals so far this season and will be looking to the likes of Steve Mounie to improve on his goal tally of 5 for the campaign.
Head to Head
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Manchester United lead the head to head between the sides by 20 wins to 11 with another 15 games between the teams ending as draws. United will be seeking revenge at Old Trafford for their 2-1 humbling at the hands of Huddersfield in the reverse fixture back in October thanks to goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre.
