Eddie has a chance to bounce back from a weekend defeat suffered at the hands of Man City. They know they can take all the points here but David Wagner has warned, they ready for a challenge.

The visiting manager has given his team words of support and encouragement before they lineup against Bournemouth. He feels regardless of the results, his team has been a better product of last season.

Sitting a point a float from the drop, this is not a game the Terriers can roll over and take a beating. No, they need to get at least a point out of this one if they are to start the busy period in good spirit. However, this will be extremely difficult to do so.

Wagner suffers a major loss during this clash-stacked December. After his straight red card and a rejected appeal, striker Steven Mounie will serve his three-match ban. This gives the manager something to think about for tonight, who to play and who not to play.

For the Cherries, Dan Gosling will be missing again after not featuring over the weekend. One remains a loss after this report, while Jefferson Lerma steps back in for Howe perhaps. There was no better team of the two last season, so it will be interesting to see how this goes down tonight.

Bournemouth 2-0 Huddersfield
