Huddersfield vs Chelsea
English Premier League
Date: Tuesday, 12th December 2017
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: John Smith’s Stadium.

Chelsea keen to bounce back to winning ways in their first ever Premier League meeting with the newly promoted Huddersfield.

An early goal from Marko Arnautovic was enough for West Ham to hand Chelsea their first Premier League defeat since October. Conte’s men were on an emphatic run since then, picking 6 wins and a draw in the 7 match unbeaten run.

The Blues are currently third in the table at a 3 point distance from second placed Manchester United and they must want a win at the John Smith’s Stadium to keep their slim title chances alive.

On the other hand, Huddersfield put an end to their losing streak with a 2-0 home win over fellow promoted side Brighton. This also helped them to steer 5 points clear-off the relegation waters. The Terriers are 11th in the standings and they can play with some freedom with the danger zone far from sight.

At home, David Wagner’s men lost 1 of their last four game and they will be in good spirits having recorded a surprise win against Manchester United during the period.

Huddersfield vs Chelsea: Head-to-head

The teams’ only two meetings in the last two decades happened in the FA Cup in 2006 and 2006. Chelsea were winners on both occasions.

Huddersfield vs Chelsea: Prediction

This is an indifferent season for Chelsea and they had dropped points a-plenty. But each time they lose a match, they were quick to respond in a positive manner.

But the Terriers have proved that they are no pushovers while playing at their own turf. And they had already troubled both Manchester clubs. Therefore, Chelsea must expect stern resistance from the Yorkshire club.

Yet, the Blues are most likely to end up with all three points in their bag, as they have done on each previous occasion after the defeat to a team in the bottom half of the table.
