Two changes to the starting XI
Huddersfield Town Manager Chris Powell has made two changes to the starting XI for today’s Sky Bet Championship game at home to Fulham; 3pm kick-off at the John Smith’s Stadium.
After a five game absence with a shoulder injury, 12 goal top scorer Nahki Wells makes a timely return to fitness today; he takes the place of the suspended James Vaughan in the starting line-up.
The other change comes in defence, where Canadian international David Edgar makes his first start in four games at the expense of Jake Carroll.
There are a couple of big landmarks for Town players this afternoon; skipper Mark Hudson makes the 400th appearance of his career against the Club where he started his career, whereas midweek goal-scorer Ishmael Miller makes his 200th League start.
There’s a second appearance among the substitutes for first year professional Jake Charles today, who was also called up to Wales’ Under-21 squad for the first time this week.
