Tuesday evening’s Premier League action from the John Smith’s Stadium sees Huddersfield Town take on Chelsea.

The hosts will be good spirits after ending a recent four game losing streak with victory over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, a result which lifted them up to twelfth place.

Another win here would see them move into the top half, at least until Wednesday’s fixtures with the two teams directly above them – Southampton and Everton facing Leicester City and Newcastle United respectively.

Rajiv van La Parra is available after completing a three game suspension and there are no fresh injury concerns for David Wagner, though Kasey Palmer is unable to face his parent club.

Steve Mounie, who scored his first goals since the opening weekend of the season last time out is 12.0 (11/1) to open the scoring with Tom Ince a 15.0 (14/1) chance with most firms.

The home win is widely available at 9.0 (8/1) with the visitors as highly priced as the 1.45 (5/11) on offer from Unibet, who have the draw at 4.6 (18/5).

Antonio Conte’s men fell to a shock 1-0 defeat to struggling West Ham United on Saturday, a result which has seen them fall fourteen points behind league leaders Manchester City and seemingly out of the title race even at this stage.

Victory here would however see them move level on points with second place Manchester United, who host Bournemouth on Wednesday evening.

Danny Drinkwater missed the defeat at the London Stadium with an illness and will be assessed ahead of kickoff while Victor Moses and Pedro are among those pushing for recalls.

Alvaro Morata is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.0 (3/1) with a number of firms, with Eden Hazard a 4.1 (41/10) shot with Unibet.

The sides only meeting in the past decade came in fifth round of the FA Cup back in 2008 with the Blues running out 3-1 winners and you can back both teams to score this time around at 2.12 (19/17) with Unibet.
