Huddersfield Town, Recent FormHuddersfield Town will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Sheffield United who sit 22 places above them in the table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Sheffield United, who had 17 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Watford, Recent FormWatford manager Slaven Bilić will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Hull City. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Hull City, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 2 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 5 goals netted in those 6 matches. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 11 away league games.
João Pedro will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Watford.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Watford running out winners in a match that ended 2-0.
The Hornets defence has struggled at John Smith's Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 visits.
Huddersfield manager Mark Fotheringham has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Pat Jones (Hamstring), Yuta Nakayama (Achilles tendon), Matty Pearson (Broken foot) and Ollie Turton (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Slaven Bilić has a number of injury concerns in his Watford squad to contend with: Tom Cleverley (Achilles tendon), Dan Gosling (Achilles tendon), Kortney Hause (Knee), Imrân Louza (Broken leg) and Rey Manaj (Leg)
