Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at the John Smith’s Stadium where Huddersfield Town face Liverpool.

The Terriers are one of three sides yet to win in the league though are a point above Newcastle United and Cardiff City in the relegation zone.

They have won just once in the league since February and few would back David Wagner to turn things around against his good friend Jurgen Klopp.

Phillip Billing and Isaac Mbenza are both available for the hosts are recovering from their respective injuries though Tommy Smith, Terrence Kolongo and Danny Williams are all out.

Laurent Depoitre and Steve Mounie are both available at a price of 13.0 (12/1) to get the first goal of the game.

The home win is as highly priced as the 13.0 (12/1) on offer from Bet Victor, with the visitors favourites at 1.33 (1/3) with Unibet. The draw can be backed at 5.5 (9/2) with several firms.

Liverpool remain unbeaten in the league though they stretched their winless run to four games in all competitions with the 0-0 draw against champions Manchester City last time out.

However, with back-to-back league games against sides in the bottom three ahead Klopp’s men could strengthen title challenge with many tipping them as serious contenders.

Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane all picked up knocks whilst on international duty and will be assessed ahead of kick-off while James Milner and Naby Keita are out with hamstring problems.

Daniel Sturridge has three goals in his last six outings and can be backed at 4.33 (10/3) to open the scoring here with Roberto Firmino a 6.0 (5/1) chance with Bet Victor.

Firmino scored in both meetings with Huddersfield last term – both games ending in 3-0 victories for the Merseyside outfit.

Coral have the Reds to score three or more this time around at 2.25 (6/4) while Unibet offer 1.81 (13/16) for there to be over 2.5 goals in the game.

Alternatively as no team in the division has scored fewer goals than Wagner’s side you may be tempted to back the away win to nil at 2.0 (1/1) with Bet Victor.
