This article is more than 6 years old

There are two Premier League grounds where José Mourinho has never been on the winning side. Newcastle is the more famous, but on his first visit to Huddersfield in October the Terriers ran out 2-1 winners. That is perhaps the high point of the newly promoted side’s season, more recently they have been sliding down the table, though against Bournemouth last week David Wanger showed he is once again prepared to put faith in attack and try to hurt opponents. Huddersfield’s attempts to play on the front foot may be hampered by the absence of ideas man Aaron Mooy, recovering from a gashed knee. Paul Wilson
