Kick-off : 3:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Old Trafford, Manchester
Man United are currently second in the points table after 25 games with 53 points. They trail rivals and table toppers Manchester City by 15 points. They know they need to keep winning games if they are to catch City.
United lost to Tottenham Hotspur in midweek in the Premier League. They will be a bit disappointed but will need to lift themselves up ahead of the weekend game.
On the other hand, Huddersfield are just above the relegation zone being 17th on the table. They are desperately in need of some points to stay out of danger.
Huddersfield Town lost to Liverpool on Tuesday and will face another sterner test against the Red Devils.
So far Manchester United and Huddersfield have played each other 46 times. Out of that United have won on 20 occasions while loosing on 11 occasions, 15 other games have been a draw.
All in all it should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.
