Liverpool v Huddersfield Town: match preview

Liverpool v Huddersfield Town
Liverpool v Huddersfield Town: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Best friends Jürgen Klopp and David Wagner oppose each other for the first time in the Premier League with contrasting moods around their teams. Huddersfield arrive at Anfield on a high following victory over Manchester United but, having succumbed meekly at Tottenham last weekend, Liverpool desperately need a reaction and yet another defensive improvement. Simon Mignolet’s and Dejan Lovren’s places are under threat while Philippe Coutinho has added to Klopp’s problems with a hip injury. Liverpool have not lost to Huddersfield since a Division Two game in November 1959. Andy Hunter
