Huddersfield vs Burnley

It's a bottom-of-the-table scrap at the John Smith's Stadium on Wednesday night as Huddersfield Town host Burnley in a crucial game for the home side's season.

Huddersfield fans have endured a dismal first half of their Premier League campaign; with the Terriers sitting uncomfortably in rock-bottom, with just 10 points to their name.

Burnley fans haven't exactly lived the luxury life so far, either. The Clarets are two places above Huddersfield, with five more points.

Honours were even in October earlier this season between these teams, with Huddersfield scoring in the second-half to earn a point at Turf Moor.

The Managers

Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "We have a lot of games to play, but the fact is we need to score more goals and get more points than we already have."

Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "In my six years (at Burnley), this is probably the second spell I've had where it's been super tough. I had a spell at the end of my first half-season and this is probably the next one.

"Some of these players have been under the radar for a long, long time and the summer changes all of that. They're human beings, they're maturing, growing. They're more recognised Premier League players and that has a little price to pay.

"You've got to keep your standards high, keep that edge and desire. They keep popping up with performances when needed. Now it's about finding that consistency."
