Huddersfield Town face their sternest test of their Premier League tenure so far as they welcome Mauricio Pochettino’s in-form Spurs to the John Smiths Stadium in Saturday’s early kick-off. The Terriers are flying high in 8th place in the league following a start in which they have only lost once but are yet to face any of last season’s top 7 sides and will be fully aware of the enormity of the task they face on Saturday.

Huddersfield Town
David Wagner will be delighted with the start his side have made to life in the Premier League. With 4 clean sheets in 6 games, the West Yorkshire outfit have collected 9 points already this term with 2 wins and 3 draws. Whilst their resolute defence has attracted most of the headlines this term (only conceded 3 goals in 6 games), problems could arise for Town due to their lack of goals – they’ve scored 5 goals this term (3 of which on the opening day at Crystal Palace). Tom Ince has yet to open his account for the Terriers in the Premier League but caused many problems for Burnley last weekend at Turf Moor and looks to be finally fulfilling his potential.
Tottenham Hotspur
Whilst much has been made of their Wembley hoodoo, Tottenham have been in sparkling form away from home and have won all of their games on their travels this term.
Despite dropping 7 points at their temporary home this season, Spurs still find themselves in 4th place in the table – only 5 points behind the high-flying Manchester clubs at the top of the Premier League. Harry Kane has scored braces in his last 2 Premier League away games and the England striker looks in ominous form once again this term.
Head to Head
Huddersfield actually hold the upper hand in the head to head record between the two sides, leading 16:11 with the two teams drawing 13 times previously. This is the first meeting between these two sides for over 45 years with their last meeting coming in the League Cup in 1972 – a 2-1 win for Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
