Team news
Burnley
Jon Walters and Nahki Wells have been ruled out of Burnley's game against Huddersfield.
Walters is recovering from a knee injury and Wells, who has yet to make his Clarets debut, will not face the club he left on deadline day as he manages his comeback from ankle trouble.
Nick Pope is set to retain the gloves in the absence of Tom Heaton (shoulder), and Adam Legzdins is likely to continue on the bench ahead of new arrival Anders Lindegaard.
Sean Dyche will be hoping Nick Pope can fill the boots of Tom Heaton who is out injured
Provisional squad: Pope, Legzdins, Lowton, Long, Mee, Taylor, Ward, Tarkowski, Bardsley, Defour, Brady, Ulvestad, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, Arfield, Gudmundsson, Vokes, Agyei, Barnes, Wood.
Huddersfield
Danny Williams has been ruled out with a fractured foot and joins a list of players unavailable for Huddersfield's trip to Burnley.
Midfielder Williams is scheduled to see a specialist after sustaining the injury in last week's home draw against Leicester, while Steve Mounie (foot) and fellow striker Collin Quaner (knee) are still out.
Another striker, Laurent Depoitre, and winger Rajiv van La Parra are hoping to shake off muscle strains. On-loan Chelsea midfielder Kasey Palmer (hamstring) and defender Jon Gorenc Stankovic (knee) remain long-term absentees.
The Terriers have a few injuries but Tom Ince is in contention to start on Saturday
Provisional squad: Lossl, Lowe, Schindler, Jorgensen, Smith, Mooy, Ince, Sabiri, Hogg, Kachunga, Coleman, Malone, Billing, Hefele, Cranie, Hadergjonaj, Whitehead, Lolley, Depoitre.
Key stats - supplied by Opta
This will be the first top-flight meeting between these two clubs since March 1971 and the first in the top-tier at Turf Moor between Burnley & Huddersfield since November 1970.
- Huddersfield have won just three of their last 19 league meetings with Burnley (W3 D5 L11).
- Burnley have conceded the first goal in 20 Premier League games since the start of 2016-17 and in those matches, they have only recouped three points (W0 D3 L17).
- 75% of Burnley’s Premier League points since August 2016 have come in matches at Turf Moor – 36 of 48.
- Burnley have won the same number of Premier League home games as Manchester United (11) since August 2016 and only one fewer than Manchester City (12) in this period.
- Robbie Brady has created seven goalscoring chances for Ben Mee this season in the Premier League; the most by one player to a teammate in the competition.
Huddersfield fans have been buoyed by their side's fine start to life in the Premier League
- Chris Wood has scored in 26 different league games since the start of 2016-17; no player in the top four tiers of English football has scored in more (level with Billy Sharp).
- Chris Wood has scored against Huddersfield Town in both of the last two seasons, for Leeds in the Championship - but both have been netted away from home.
- Excluding own-goals, none of Huddersfield's first four Premier League goals have been from English players. Only four teams have had a longer wait for an English scorer in the Premier League - Stoke (none of first 17 goals from an Englishman), Wolves (9), Birmingham (6) and Hull (5).
- No player has created as many goalscoring chances without assisting a goal in the Premier League since August 2016 than Burnley’s Scott Arfield (35).
