Danny Schofield makes two changes to the line-up
- Huddersfield Town side named to face Birmingham City
- Head Coach Danny Schofield makes two changes to the side
- Tino Anjorin and Jack Rudoni make their first Championship starts
Huddersfield Town Head Coach Danny Schofield has made two changes to the side for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship game against Birmingham City; 7.45pm kick-off at St. Andrew’s.
Having impressed as second half substitutes in last weekend’s home clash with Burnley, both Tino Anjorin and Jack Rudoni make their first Town starts, which are also their first starts in the second tier.
As a result, Duane Holmes and Josh Koroma are substitutes tonight.
There are another two changes to the squad on the bench.
The first sees B Team defender Ben Jackson is replaced by Will Boyle, who missed last week’s season opener due to suspension.
The injured David Kasumu’s (hamstring) place among the substitutes is taken by B Team midfielder Etienne Camara. The 19-year-old Frenchman has already made his senior Town debut in the Emirates FA Cup, but this is a first appearance for him in a Sky Bet Championship match day squad tonight.
Reigning Player of the Year Lee Nicholls makes his 50th competitive Town start tonight.
