David Wagner’s Huddersfield Town side travel to the south coast looking to return to winning ways against Eddie Howe’s AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday 4 December; 7:45pm kick-off.
Wagner and his players will be hoping they can bounce back with a win against The Cherries following Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Bournemouth currently sit ninth in the Premier League table, after an impressive start to the 2018/19 season.
However, the hosts come into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to league leaders Manchester City.
Howe has been the man in the dugout for The Cherries since 2012 with the former Bournemouth defender remarkably guiding the Club from League 1 to the Premier League during his second managerial spell in charge of the Dorset side.
The corresponding fixture saw AFC Bournemouth ensure the three points remained on the south coast thanks to a 4-0 win last November.
