Huddersfield Town host Crystal Palace on Saturday in a crucial clash at the bottom end of the Premier League table.

For David Wagner’s side, this game could be a springboard for Premier League survival, with Town currently 31 points and in 15th place. They have lost just one of their last four games, and coming up against a Crystal Palace side who are 18th and have lost their last four Premier League games, the Terriers will fancy their chances of collecting three vital points.

Crystal Palace will welcome the return of Mamadou Sakho, Yohan Cabaye and Ruben Loftus-Cheek who have all been out with relatively long-term injuries, whilst Wilfried Zaha returned after appeared as a substitute last weekend and is likely to start against Huddersfield.

Elias Kachunga is available for Huddersfield after damaging knee ligaments in December, and Wagner will be hoping his return can boost his sides chances of a vital win on Saturday.

What time does it start?

Huddersfield Town vs Crystal Palace kicks off at 15.00pm.

Where can I watch it?

The match will not be shown live on TV. Highlights on BBC1 at 22.30pm.

It’s a big game for…

Roy Hodgson. After Palace were seemingly moving away from the relegation zone, an injury crisis coupled with some shocking league form has meant they are currently 18th in the Premier League table. Success in Saturday’s game is vital, and Hodgson will have to rally his squad in order to collect what would be a huge win for Palace.

Weird /best stat…

Huddersfield have scored 18 goals in their last five league wins over Palace, an average of 3.6 goals per game, whilst conceding just once.

Remember when…

Huddersfield Town beat Crystal Palace 7-1 when these two sides met in the 1999/2000 season. Re-live the goals here.

Player to watch…

Yohan Cabaye. Following Cabaye’s injury earlier in the season, Palace have struggled to gather any momentum in the league, and are currently in real danger of relegation. The return of their French playmaker is a huge boost for Hodgson’s side, and he could make a crucial contribution against Huddersfield on Saturday.
