Team News: Huddersfield
Ollie Turton (Meniscus injury) and Josh Ruffels (Groin injury) won’t be playing for Huddersfield boss André Breitenreiter.
It’s our opinion that The Terriers will possibly use the 4-2-3-1 system for this one, handing starts to Lee Nicholls, Matty Pearson, Tom Lees, Michal Helik, Brodie Spencer, Alex Matos, David Kasumu, Sorba Thomas, Jack Rudoni, Josh Koroma and Bojan Radulovic.
ℹ️
Team News: Swansea City
Swansea City boss Luke Williams has multiple availability issues to deal with. Harrison Ashby (Muscle injury), Joe Allen (Toe injury), Przemyslaw Placheta (Hamstring injury), Kyle Naughton (Hamstring injury) and Josh Ginnelly (Achilles tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
It’s our belief that The Swans seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Josh Tymon, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes, Ronald, Oliver Cooper, Jamie Paterson and Jamal Lowe.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Swansea City will have to perform well to hit the back of the net against this Huddersfield Town lineup who we reckon should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.
Our tip is therefore for a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 advantage for Huddersfield Town when the referee blows for full-time.
