Newcastle United are aiming for a league double against a Huddersfield Town side still adapting to life under new head coach Jan Siewert. The bottom-placed Terriers are looking to record their first win in 13 matches.
Did you know?
Newcastle are aiming to win three consecutive home league matches for the first time since a run of four in April 2018.
Huddersfield Town have played more Saturday 3pm matches than any other Premier League side this season and are yet to win one. Their last victory played at 3pm on a Saturday came against Watford in April 2018.
Salomon Rondon has been directly involved in 41 per cent of Newcastle’s 22 PL goals this season, scoring six times and recording three assists. He struck the Magpies’ winner in the reverse fixture against Huddersfield.
The Terriers’ top scorer this season is defender Zanka with three goals.
