Huddersfield Town’s next outing in the Premier League comes in the form of Watford at the John Smith’s Stadium.
With just five games left of the Premier League season, the Terriers sit five points and four league places behind the visitors in sixteenth.
The Hornets last visit to the John Smith’s Stadium saw Town run out to a 3-1 victory over the Hertfordshire side in January 2015. Odion Ighalo cancelled out Nakhi Wells’s opener before goals from James Vaughan and Joel Lynch helped secure the three points for Chris Powell’s side.
Town has won three out of the last four meetings between the two sides, with the latest being the Terriers’ joint biggest win of the season. An Aaron Mooy double and strikes from Elias Kachunga and Laurent Depoitre earned the win for the Terriers in a stunning display at Vicarage Road.
Watford come into this game looking for their first win in five. The Hornets are still in search of their first away win of 2018, with the last coming at St. James’s Park against Newcastle in November.
