Tottenham v Huddersfield
- Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 1230 BST kick-off on Sky Sports Premier League
There are a couple of worrying factors for Spurs this weekend, most notably the absence of Harry Kane once again after their star striker went down with another ankle injury against Man City, then there's the obvious comedown they'll experience from their Champions League exploits - an early Saturday lunchtime kick-off against Huddersfield just won't be the same!
It's a tough task for Mauricio Pochettino to get his side back up for what is still a big game given their top four challenge, but maybe a more challenging fixture may have helped - complacency is certainly the biggest danger to Spurs.
The Terriers have been woeful and now relegated so have little to play for - sometimes relegated sides can improve and play with a sense of freedom after the drop has been confirmed, but there's been so little by the way of creativity that it's hard to see Huddersfield suddenly transform into a free-flowing attacking threat.
First blood Tottenham! 🔥

Team selection will be interesting from Pochettino, with the Man City reverse fixture and then Premier League tip to the Etihad coming up next week. Will he rest his now star man Son Heung-min and co or will he go full-strength for the three vital points needed in their top four push?
It's an intriguing prospect of sorts, but Spurs have proved already this season that they can cope without Kane and they've won much tougher fixtures than this one without him - whatever team runs out at their new stadium should have enough.
Betting guide
Prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Huddersfield (Sky Bet odds: 11/2)
Spurs may have lost four of six in the league recently, but if there's ever a game to help them back on their feet it's this one - the feel-good factor should still be there from midweek and after all, Huddersfield have won just three games all season - two of them bizarrely against Wolves! Anyway, two of their last three league meetings have ended 2-0 to Spurs and there's no reason why this shouldn't follow suit.
Best Bet: Spurs to win to nil at Evens
Huddersfield aren't exactly prolific - they've got four goals in their last ten away games and three of those came at West Ham! With that in mind, and given that Spurs are more than decent at the back then it should be a regulation win to nil.
Stats: Lucas Moura to score anytime at 7/5
Pochettino may deploy Fernando Llorente but Moura has been really impressive when he's played, with his speed and movement causing all kinds of problems - he's got a great chance of finding the net here.
