Huddersfield, eager to arrest a decline that has led to them taking one point from their past five matches, were walloped 4-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in their last home game but that does not mean they will park the bus against their latest illustrious visitors. That tends not to be how David Wagner operates, especially with top scorer Steve Mounié available. But the hosts are still likely to spend much of this game on the back foot against Manchester United, who surely will not be as timid as they were last week at Anfield.
