Huddersfield Town v Fulham - Preview and possible lineups

TEAM NEWS:

Huddersfield Town: Terrence Kongolo and Tommy Smith could return to the Huddersfield side after missing the last three games with hamstring and knee injuries, with midfielder Danny Williams (knee) likely to be the only player not available to David Wagner after Rajiv Van La Parra and Abdelhamid Sabiri returned to training following illness.

Fulham: Midfielder Kevin McDonald could feature after missing the defeat to Manchester City last weekend due to suspension, but left-back Joe Bryan remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.

WHO IS SAYING WHAY?

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner:

"We need to defend better than we did against Watford and attack like we have done in the past. I've told my players to show a reaction on Monday.

"For us, it's important that we are at our best. If we are on our best, we have the chance to be successful. At home, with our supporters, we have to have an atmosphere that this game deserves; it's an important game."

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic:

"It's a really important game for us, it's a really important game for Huddersfield too. It's an early six-pointer at the beginning of November. After the game, it's not going to be done for either team.

"There are some teams who are a few points in front of us and we are fighting to be competitive and to catch them and to put them under some kind of pressure. I don't believe we are going to be safe in November or December or January; at the same time I don't believe anybody will win the Premier League in this time either."

Fulham are unbeaten in their last 11 league meetings with Hudderfield (W7, D4, L0).

Should they fail to find the net, Fulham will become only the second team in English football League history to fail to score in their first six home games of the season (Joint with Mansfield in D3 in 1971-72).

No team has ever conceded more goals in their first 10 games of a Premier League season than Fulham (28).

Fulham have conceded at least three goals in their last four Premier League games, only Sunderland in November 2005 have done so in five consecutive games.
