Prediction: 2-0
Huddersfield
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Cardiff City, Leicester City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Huddersfield Town on Monday afternoon. The Foxes are eager to retain top position and they are seen as hot favourites to pick up all three points from the first match of the year. Even though all Marc Albrighton, Jamie Vardy, and Kasey McAteer remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Leicester City are on a four-game winning run at home ground.
The Terriers, on the other hand, are eager to escape the danger zone. Huddersfield Town are not regarded as good travellers and given their three-game losing run at King Power Stadium, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. In their last meeting at the venue Leicester defeated Huddersfield 3-1.
