Huddersfield make their first ever trip to the Walkers Stadium and go in search of 3 points against the league leaders and a real test as to how far they have come in recent weeks.

Lee Clark is expected to name an unchanged line up for the 5th game in succession, with Werling a possibility from the bench.

Leicester are also set to name an unchanged line up, with Cleverley possibly making his full debut, he came on for the last 5 minutes in their 2-0 win at Yeovil last week.

Vital Quotes:

Huddersfield gaffer Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds ahead of the game:

‘These are the games the players should look forward to and they excite you.

‘There will be a great crowd there and we’ll take lots of fans too.

‘It will be a tough game, but one the players should relish and we are looking forward to it.

‘They are beatable – no team in the world is unbeatable.’


Leicester Boss Nigel Pearson spoke to This is Leicestershire ahead of the meeting with The Terriers:

‘They have set the standards themselves while I am always looking over my shoulder again for a dip. That is something I am always aware of.

‘Talk to the players and you will find there is a lot of confidence about them, which is good, but it is a fine line.

‘You have to keep them on the straight and narrow, and every game we play is a potential slip.

Leicester Team News:

Tom Cleverley is set to make his debut, following his loan signing from Man Utd

Player to watch: Matty Fryatt

Without doubt the hotshot striker in the division, he will need to be watched carefully

Huddersfield Team News:

Dominik Werling is set for a place on the bench, but fellow new signings Ainsworth and Pilkington both miss out, unless its a clever tactical ploy

It remains to be seen if Legend Andy Booth has made the 16, following his recurrance of a back injury

Player to watch: Gary Roberts

Roberts is in superb form and will be looking to help Town to the 3 points
