Did you know?
There’s never been a draw in 14 previous top-flight meetings between these sides in Leicester, with Huddersfield Town winning eight to Leicester City’s six. However, this is the first such meeting since October 1971.
This will be Leicester’s first home league match played on New Year’s Day since 2013, when they beat Huddersfield Town 6-1 in the Championship.
What the managers say
Claude Puel: “It’s a crucial game for us of course and we need to build some new momentum."
David Wagner: "Every Huddersfield Town supporter can be very proud and happy with what happened in 2017 but in 48 hours it will be 2018 and we have to deliver again at Leicester."
