Huddersfield Town travels down to Wembley Stadium this weekend to face Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur in what will be Town’s 29th Premier League game of the season.
Pochettino’s side currently sit fourth in the Premier League table on 55 points, just two points behind third place Liverpool. Spurs are unbeaten in their last 10 league games and have not lost since the turn of the year.
Last time out in the league, Spurs secured a late victory away at Crystal Palace as Harry Kane headed home on the 88th minute, bagging his 24th Premier League goal of the season. Whilst David Wagner’s side come into the game of back-to-back wins in the top-flight, beating both AFC Bournemouth and West Bromwich Albion.
Town fell to a 4-0 defeat earlier in the season when the Club hosted Tottenham at the John Smith’s Stadium back in September; goals from Ben Davies and Moussa Sissoko alongside a Harry Kane double secured all three points for the North London side that day.
