Huddersfield vs Leicester Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates, Huddersfield vs Leicester lineups and team news for Saturday’s showdown below.

Huddersfield

Huddersfield will be without the services of injured trio Tom Lees, David Kasumu and Oliver Turton again this weekend. The Terriers were well beaten by newly-promoted Plymouth last weekend.

Predicted Lineup for Huddersfield: Nicholls – Edwards, Pearson, Helik, Ruffels – Edmonds-Green, Rudoni, Thomas, Diarra, Koroma – Ward

Leicester

Conor Coady is still nursing a foot injury and the experienced defender isn't expected to return to the fold until September. Leicester could stick with the XI that beat Coventry last weekend.

Predicted Lineup for Leicester: Hermansen – Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Doyle – Ndidi, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall – McAteer, Mavididi, Vardy

Player to Watch – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall showcased his Premier League quality for recently relegated Leicester last weekend when he netted a brace against Coventry. The 24-year-old is one of several Foxes players that should be a dominant force in the second tier.
