Huddersfield Town: 3 key Players to watch out
Alfie May (Forward): A lower-league goal-scorer, May brings a natural finishing touch and energy upfront. He will be Huddersfield’s leading forward and goal-threat.
Josh Feeney (Defender): Expected to shield the back four, the youngster will need to provide leadership, be aerially dominant in the defensive third and provide thrust against Burnley’s athletic attack.
Marcus Harness (Winger): Harness is fast, creative and can use his pace and dribbling ability to provide an attacking width. When attacking, he can isolate defenders 1v1.

Expect Burnley to dominate possession and eventually break Huddersfield’s mid-block with some goals in the second half.
Prediction: Burnley 2–1 Huddersfield Town
