Huddersfield Town, Recent FormHuddersfield Town will not be too troubled by their 5-3 away defeat against Southampton, given the latter currently sit 19 places further up the league table than they do. Their share of possession in that meeting was 30%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Southampton, who had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Supremo Jon Worthington will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 11 goals they've managed to net. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 26 of their 31 games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Huddersfield Town, Michał Helik will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 home win against Plymouth Argyle. In that game they had 67% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Plymouth Argyle who had 5 attempts and 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Jack Clarke will be looking to cause Huddersfield Town some problems having scored 4 goals in Sunderland's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Huddersfield Town sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-2.
The Black Cats will be confident of finding the net in this one against Huddersfield, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 9 encounters between the two sides. We've seen plenty of goals from Sunderland when they've visited The Terriers in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
In the league, Huddersfield has not won any of the last 4 times they have welcomed Sunderland to The John Smith's Stadium.
Huddersfield manager Jon Worthington has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Delano Burgzorg (Ankle), Kian Harratt (Hamstring), Jaheim Headley (Knee), Rhys Healey (Groin), Michał Helik (Knock), Chris Maxwell (Hamstring), Josh Ruffels (Groin) and Ollie Turton (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sunderland manager Michael Beale with Ajibola Alese (Leg), Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (Hamstring), Bradley Dack (Hamstring), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament) and Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament) all unavailable for selection, and Niall Huggins (Knee surgery) out for the rest of the season.
