Huddersfield Town vs Fulham - Wagner unlikely to meddle with his Terriers composition

Posted Friday, January 15, 2016 by PA

Huddersfield head coach David Wagner could be tempted to name an unchanged starting line-up for the visit of Fulham.

Town secured their biggest win of the season in midweek when beating Charlton 5-0 and Wagner has no new injury or suspension problems.

Winger Sean Scannell missed out against Charlton due to a sore knee and will be monitored and although Dean Whitehead is closing in on a return, the midfielder remains sidelined due to his knee injury.

Emyr Huws was withdrawn on Tuesday night through fatigue after returning from a recent illness but should be fit, while on-loan Middlesbrough defender James Husband is in contention to make his first start for the club.

Former England midfielder Scott Parker could feature for Fulham.

Parker has made only six appearances in an injury-hit campaign and has yet to start under new Cottagers boss Slavisa Jokanovic.

But Jokanovic says the 35-year-old midfielder is in his weekend plans as he seeks some respite after starting his time at Craven Cottage with three defeats.

Moussa Dembele returned for the 3-2 midweek defeat to Wolves after Cauley Woodrow fractured a metatarsal in the FA Cup exit at Sheffield Wednesday, and the highly-rated teenager will link up with Ross McCormack in attack despite being linked with a January move.
