Huddersfield Town host Everton in the Premier League this evening.

Huddersfield Town starting line-up: Lossl; Hadergjonaj, Schindler, Jorgensen, Kongolo; Hogg, Bacuna; Kachunga, Puncheon, Diakhaby; Mounie.

Huddersfield Town substitutes: Hamer, Smith, Mooy, Lowe, Depoitre, Pritchard, Durm.

Everton starting line-up: Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Baines; Gomes, Davies; Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Tosun.

Everton substitutes: Stekelenburg, Walcott, Digne, McCarthy, Calvert-Lewin, Lookman, Kenny.

Huddersfield head into the game with a new manager at the helm, with Jan Siewert taking charge of the Terriers for the first time since replacing David Wagner.

Siewert appears to be going with a back four of Florent Hadergjonaj, Christopher Schindler, Mathias Jorgensen and Terence Kongolo in front of goalkeeper Jonas Lossl.

Jonathan Hogg will be joined by Juninho Bacuna in midfield, with Elias Kachunga, Jason Puncheon and Adama Diakhaby supporting Steve Mounie in attack.

Aaron Mooy is back on the bench, alongside Ben Hamer, Tommy Smith, Chris Lowe, Laurent Depoitre, Alex Pritchard and Erik Durm.

Meanwhile, Everton boss Marco Silva is under huge pressure having crashed out of the FA Cup at the hands of Millwall on Saturday night, and he desperately needs a win tonight.

However, Idrissa Gueye isn’t in the squad tonight as speculation over a move to Paris Saint-Germain continues to dominate the headlines.

Jordan Pickford starts in goal, with no place for Lucas Digne in the back four as Leighton Baines returns alongside Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane and Kurt Zouma.

Tom Davies replaces Gueye in midfield alongside Andre Gomes, with Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bernard supporting Cenk Tosun in the final third.

Digne is named on the bench, alongside Maarten Stekelenburg, Theo Walcott, James McCarthy, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ademola Lookman and Jonjoe Kenny.
