Bournemouth v Huddersfield Team News

The Premier League (PL) returns from the international break and Saturday’s action pitches under-pressure Bournemouth (17th) against over-achieving Huddersfield (10th) in the first-ever meeting of the sides in the top flight. They did, however, play 4 times in the Championship (last encounter Feb ‘15) with Bournemouth (W2 D1 L1) just coming out on top.

Bournemouth (10 pts, W3 D1 L7) have done well to pick up form (2 wins in last 3 matches) after a disastrous start to the season (four straight losses). Their home form (W1 D1 L3) is a concern although 2 of their losses were against Manchester City and Chelsea.

Huddersfield (15 pts, W4 D3 L4) are one of the surprise teams this season and after a brief lull, have picked up pace again in the last 3 matches (W 2 L1). However, their away form remains dicey (W1 D1 L3).

Bournemouth have failed to score in 60% of their home games while Huddersfield have failed to find the net in 80% of their away games in the PL this season. Bournemouth have never gone 3 matches in a row in the PL without scoring at home and are in danger of setting a new precedent.

Teams' Possible Starting Lineups:

Bournemouth: Begovic - Daniels, Ake, Cook, Francis - Pugh, Surman, Arter, Fraser - King - Wilson (4-4-1-1 formation)

Huddersfield: Lossl - Lowe, Cranie, Zanka, Smith - Williams, Hogg - Parra, Ince, Kachunga - Mounie (4-2-3-1 formation)

Missing Players of Bournemouth and Huddersfield:

Bournemouth: Adam Federici, Tyrone Mings, Brad Smith, Junior Stanislas.

Huddersfield: Jon Gorenc Stankovic, Kasey Palmer, Michael Hefele, Philip Billing, Christopher Schindler, Aaron Mooy.
