Did you know?

This will be the 60th competitive meeting between Huddersfield Town and Leicester City but the first in the top flight since 1971/72.

Huddersfield are aiming to become only the third newly-promoted side to keep a clean sheet in their opening three home matches of a Premier League season, after Swansea City (2011/12) and Watford (2015/16).

These two sides have each made a PL-low one change to their starting XI this season.

Jamie Vardy has 11 goals and three assists in 17 PL appearances under Craig Shakespeare.

What the managers say

David Wagner: "Of course I like the story of Leicester City, but that doesn't change the fact we would like to be successful against them."

Craig Shakespeare: "They (Huddersfield) haven’t surprised me. It will be difficult for them to stay up. What I’ve seen so far, they have great spirit and they’ll be difficult to play against."
