Preview: Bournemouth vs. Huddersfield Town

Huddersfield Town will make the long journey to Bournemouth in the Championship knowing that a win could see them edge closer to mid-table safety.

Bournemouth are three points below their opponents in 16th, but are seven clear of the relegation zone.

The Cherries were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in the FA Cup on Saturday, but matched their opponents for much of the game.

The hosts have picked up nine points from their last six games in the league and will be eager to get back to winning ways following four without a victory.

However, they were thrashed 5-1 by the Terriers in August as James Vaughan grabbed a hat-trick.

Mark Robins's side were dumped out of the FA Cup with a disappointing 1-0 loss against Charlton Athletic at the weekend and went down 2-1 against Queens Park Rangers before that.
