This will be the first meeting between these sides since the 1971/72 top-flight season, with Manchester United winning both games that season.

The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 10 league matches against Huddersfield (W7 D3 L0), since a 2-3 away defeat in March 1952.

Man Utd could become the first team in top-flight history to keep eight clean sheets in their first nine matches of a season.

Jose Mourinho has lost two of his 39 previous PL matches against newly-promoted sides (W33 D4), though Romelu Lukaku has failed to score in 17 of his last 24 matches against newly-promoted teams.
