Jansson is likely to start the match, and he has named Aaron Mooy as a player to watch. Mooy, who is 26 years of age and plays as a midfielder, joined Huddersfield on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City in the summer of 2016.

“They have some really good players particularly in attack, they are quick and strong,” Jansson told Leeds’ official website.

“Aaron Mooy is one of the best players in the Championship, he was good against us in our last game and he was great in Australia also, so we have to take care of him.”

Both Leeds and Huddersfield are aiming to finish in the Championship this season.
