Huddersfield Town travel to Burton Albion this Saturday looking to get back to winning ways in League One. The Terriers, who sit sixth in the table with 12 points from seven games, were beaten 2-1 at Bromley in their last outing.
That loss at Hayes Lane halted a decent run of form that had seen them take eight points from the previous four matches. They will be keen to start another positive sequence at the Pirelli Stadium against a Burton side currently one place and one point below them in seventh. The full schedule for the coming weeks is available on our fixtures page.
Manager Michael Duff is expected to keep faith with a core of players who have delivered results so far. Top scorer J. Taylor, with five goals already this season, will lead the line again, supported by the likes of Marcus Harness and Ashley Fletcher, who scored the consolation at Bromley. The team's overall squad depth will be tested during this busy period.
Both teams lined up in a 3-4-2-1 shape in their most recent games, suggesting a tactical battle could be in store. Huddersfield will need to tighten up defensively after conceding twice against Bromley, with goals from John Joshua Mckiernan and Mikel Miller proving decisive. The current standings show the Terriers are just three points off the summit, so every point matters.
The match kicks off at 3pm local time on Saturday, 3 October.
