Team news

Huddersfield

Huddersfield's new signing Alex Pritchard could make his debut for the club in the home game against West Ham.


Midfielder Pritchard completed his permanent move to the John Smith's Stadium from Norwich on Friday morning and is expected to go straight into David Wagner's squad.

Recent loan signing Terence Kongolo hopes to make his Premier League bow in central defence, but forward Collin Quaner, plus defenders Chris Lowe and Martin Cranie, will miss out through injury.

Provisional squad: Lossl, Malone, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Smith, Hogg, Mooy, Van La Parra, Lolley, Ince, Pritchard, Mounie, Depoitre, Coleman, Hefele, Hadergjonaj, Williams, Billing.

West Ham

Michail Antonio is still missing from the West Ham squad for the trip to Huddersfield.

The winger's groin problem is taking longer than expected to clear up, while defender Winston Reid and striker Andy Carroll are doubts.

But James Collins, Aaron Cresswell, Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini have shaken off knocks to return to the squad.

Provisional squad: Adrian, Hart, Masuaku, Cresswell, Collins, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Kouyate, Rice, Noble, Obiang, Cullen, Burke, Quina, Lanzini, Arnautovic, Ayew, Carroll, Hernandez.

Huddersfield have won 10 of their last 12 home league games against West Ham (W10 D1 L1), though this is the first such meeting since a 1-0 win in November 1971.

West Ham won the reverse fixture 2-0 back in September – they’ve never won both league games against Huddersfield in any of the previous 15 seasons they’ve met.

The Hammers lost their last visit in any competition to face Huddersfield – 0-1 in a League Cup match in September 1997. However, they won the second leg 3-0 to progress on aggregate.

The Terriers are winless in their last four Premier League games, with defeat at Leicester last time out following a run of three successive draws.

West Ham have picked up five points in their last three Premier League away games (W1 D2 L0), two more than they’d earned in their opening nine on the road this season (W0 D3 L6).

If West Ham lose, it will be the fourth time they’ve lost to at least three different promoted sides in the same Premier League season (2001-02, 2006-07 and 2009-10). As it stands, only Middlesbrough (five) and Sunderland (four) have done this on that many occasions.

Only Turf Moor (16) has seen fewer goals scored than the John Smith’s Stadium among Premier League grounds this season (22, 10 for Huddersfield, 12 against).

Excluding own goals, just six different players have scored a Premier League goal for Huddersfield this season; no side has had fewer (level with Brighton).

In their 11 games under Slaven Bilic this season, West Ham averaged 105.7 km per game, while in their 11 under David Moyes, they’re averaging 112.6 km per Premier League game.

Marko Arnautovic has scored in his last two Premier League away games; only five players have ever scored in more than three consecutive games on the road for West Ham in the competition, most recently Diafra Sakho in October 2014.
