Hoping to break out of their poor run of form, Huddersfield welcome Tottenham to the Kirklees Stadium on Saturday.
The Premier League's basement club will be determined to eradicate the defensive errors that plagued them at Leicester last weekend, which left manager David Wagner "disappointed"
Following the 3-1 defeat at Leicester, the Terriers now sit rock bottom of the table without a victory. Wagner's side will be hellbent on accumulating a debut 3 points of the season, but face a stern test against Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs.
If last seasons results, 4-0 and 2-0 losses, are anything to go by, then it could be another long afternoon for the home side.

TEAM NEWS:
Both midfielder Danny Williams and winger Ramadan Sobhi remain doubts for Huddersfield after not making last week's squad.
Wagner revealed that Williams is suffering with swelling on his knee and is not likely to re-join the squad until the international break. Sobhi is also recovering from a knee injury and is unlikely to feature.
Aside from the aforementioned absentees, Huddersfield have no fresh injury worries and Wagner told the press that "we have everyone in contention for tomorrow's game."
WAGNER'S COMMENTS:
In today's press conference, Wagner discussed the approach his side will take to the game. He said:
"We will try to the deliver a top, top performance and be brave. We will try to find the best way to cause Tottenham problems", later adding "We know what's coming and for this we will be prepared. I think we are ready and I can't wait."
Acknowledging his side's poor start, Wagner said:
"It's important that we make ourselves independent from the circumstances, the points and the table. We have to show our desire and passion."
Wagner also touched on the importance of the Huddersfield faithful, stating that "an incredible atmosphere will help us put in the hard yards."
BETTING ODDS/PREDICTION:
Spurs are evidently huge favourites to win, epitomised by their 4/9 odds. Contrastingly, victory Wagner's men is placed at an appealing 13/2.
Huddersfield have drawn two of their league fixtures this season, and the odds on that becoming three are placed at 7/2.
With goals in successive Premier League games, many will be taking a punt on Spurs forward Erik Lamela making it three in three, the Argentine is 23/10 to score anytime.
Huddersfield 0-2 Tottenham
I can see Huddersfield's trend thus far this season of performing well but losing matches at home this season continuing. The Terriers' inability to score at home could be set to plague them once again.
