Huddersfield Town vs Burnley Prediction

Huddersfield Town finished third last season, an impressive feat given their limited resources. However, manager Carlos Corberan has since left the club, while Nottingham Forest have signed two of their more important players in Harry Toffolo and Lewis O'Brien.

Burnley, on the other hand, have begun a new era under the management of Vincent Kompany. Defensive stars like Ben Mee, James Tarkowski, Nathan Collins and Nick Pope have all left the club to join Premier League sides.

We expect Burnley to win.

Preidiction: Huddersfield Town 0-1 Burnley
