PREVIEW: Huddersfield Town v Burnley
The Clarets kick off 2019 with the short trip to Huddersfield Town and the chance to escape the Premier League’s bottom three.
Burnley seemingly re-ignited their campaign with Sunday’s impressive 2-0 win over West Ham United lifting the mood in and around Turf Moor.
They now need to back that up by securing back-to-back league wins for the first time since September.
A victory over the bottom club at the John Smith’s Stadium would take Sean Dyche’s men above Cardiff City on goal difference following the Bluebirds’ 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on New Year’s Day.
And bettering the result Southampton manage at Chelsea tonight (Wednesday) would also lift Burnley above the Saints.
