For their first home match in the top flight since 1972, Huddersfield host Newcastle, who won 3-1 at the John Smith’s Stadium in last season’s Championship. David Wagner’s team are much stronger since then, whereas Newcastle might not be, especially with Jonjo Shelvey suspended and Florian Lejeune out injured. Following last weekend’s win at Crystal Palace, Huddersfield fans will be confident of extending their triumphant start to their Premier League era. Paul Doyle
