FA CUP – Huddersfield Vs Dover

Huddersfield Town play host to non-league Dover looking for a passage through to the 4th Round of the FA Cup

The Terriers are fresh off a 1-0 derby day victory in front of the Sky Tv camera’s where they beat Sheffield Wednesday with a beautiful Anthony Pilkington strike.

Lee Clark could be set to name an unchanged side however his team line ups are never predictable, and he could be too tempted to rest some key players.

Dover come looking to cause a shock having already done so in the past two rounds, dispatching Gillingham and Aldershot from league 2 both by a score of two goals to nil.

Vital Quotes:Lee Clark speaking to HTAFC.com

A game like our tie on the weekend is what the FA Cup is all about. Dover have done fantastically well to get this far and I am sure everyone outside of Huddersfield will be rooting for them to cause an upset.

As a team we are well aware of the pitfalls, I have stressed to the players all week in training the importance of applying themselves correctly to make sure come Sunday we are the name in the draw.
