Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers make it three wins in a row?
Huddersfield Town kicked off their season with a win over Sheffield Wednesday in the first round of the EFL Cup on 1st August. After a 0-0 draw at Hillsborough in normal time, the Terriers won 4-2 on penalties.
Carlos Corberan’s troops picked up just one point from their opening two league fixtures. After starting with a 1-1 draw with Derby County at Pride Park, Town were thumped 5-1 at home by Fulham in game two.
Huddersfield have responded expertly well from that humbling defeat to the Cottagers, winning the last two. After a 1-0 home success over Preston North End, the Terriers scored a last-gasp goal to beat Sheffield United 2-1 at Bramall Lane last time out.
After two wins in the past week, can Huddersfield cause an upset against Everton in the cup on Tuesday? The home victory is priced at 11/2.
Everton Preview – Will the Toffees extend unbeaten run?
Rafa Benitez’s move to Everton was one of the most talked about bits of business over the summer. The former Liverpool boss, who was a massive hit at Anfield during his time there, was greeted with mixed emotions. However, Benitez has made a solid start at Goodison Park.
Everton began their Premier League season with a 3-1 home win over Southampton. They were down at the break, but second-half goals from Richarlison, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dominic Calvert-Lewin did the business. Everton followed that up with a 2-2 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road last Saturday.
