Huddersfield Town are aiming to avoid a fourth straight defeat as they host Newcastle United, who lie three points ahead of them and are looking for a first victory in four matches.

Huddersfield's Aaron Mooy (knee) has been ruled out until February, while Tommy Smith (hamstring) will be sidelined until January.

Danny Williams (knee) is expected to be out for 10 weeks after being injured in training. Terence Kongolo (knee) and Jonathan Hogg (groin) could be available after returning to training.

Newcastle United will be without DeAndre Yedlin because of suspension, while Federico Fernandez (calf) is a doubt.

Jonjo Shelvey (thigh) is a doubt while Florian Lejeune (knee) has returned to training following a serious knee injury.

Did you know?

Huddersfield have won only two of their last 13 matches against Newcastle in all competitions but the most recent of those came in this fixture last season, when they triumphed 1-0.

The Terriers are looking to record consecutive top-flight home wins over Newcastle for the first time since April 1955.

Aaron Mooy has scored in his last two matches against the Magpies at the John Smith's Stadium, including the winner in this fixture last season.

Of Newcastle's Premier League goals this season, 54 per cent have come from headers, with seven out of 13. That the highest proportion in the division.
