Mounie, by the way, is Huddersfield's top scorer with nine goals in all competitions. David Wagner may well try to add more goals to his side in the transfer market this summer.

Steve Mounie looks to find space outside Watford's area but is denied by a good block from Sebastian Prodl. Decent start for the hosts who are seeing a lot of the ball.

The atmosphere here has been excellent this season. The crowd can play a big part today in helping Wagner's side get the win they need.

Today is absolutely massive for Huddersfield. Their form at home has been very worrying but they have to go for it. They surprised a few teams at the start of the season but have been found out a bit.

Watford are powerful but if Huddersfield can even nick a point it will be so valuable for them, especially when you look at their remaining fixtures.

We're under way at the John Smith's!

Subs: Smith, Malone, Billing, Coleman, Lowe, Depoitre, Ince.

Watford also make just the one change from their previous match - a 2-1 home defeat by Burnley.

Defender Jose Holebas drops out as Craig Cathcart returns to the starting line-up.

Watford XI: Karnezis, Mariappa, Prodl, Cathcart, Janmaat, Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Femenia, Pereyra, Deeney.

Subs: Gomes, Britos, Richarlison, Sinclair, Gray, Kabasele, Okaka.

What are the odds for a Watford goal today? Long ones maybe.

They have not registered an away goal since 2 January, but a Hornets win today will ease any lingering fears of being dragged into the relegation mire.

The dramatic defeat for fellow strugglers Southampton earlier has given David Wagner's side a lift before kick-off.

Indeed the home fans at the John Smith's Stadium cheered as news of Chelsea's 3-2 comeback on the south coast filtered through.

Huddersfield captain Tommy Smith speaking on Football Focus: We need to stick to what we've been doing. We all knew it wasn't going to be easy but it's what we wanted. We've wanted to challenge ourselves. We've not got the biggest budget but we work hard, have a good team ethic and it counts for a lot. If we keep with the same effort, I think we'll get over the line as a team and as a town.

They got promoted with up-tempo football and home games were key. This season, they’ve not really had the momentum after the initial ten games. They’ve also gone a bit negative with how they’ve played and only one goal In the last five games is a real concern. One win could be enough though so a big performance today will be what David Wagner wants.

Predicting matches during the run-in can be foolhardy but, psychologically at least, Huddersfield really have to beat Watford this weekend.

The magnificent atmosphere at the John Smith's Stadium has been a feature of the Terriers' first Premier League season, yet it has witnessed just one home win in the last four months.

Everton and Arsenal will be the final visitors and with trips to Chelsea and Manchester City also on their agenda, Huddersfield surely need to be galvanised by a victory this weekend.

Watford's own quest for safety is almost complete but having not even registered an away goal since 2 January, this must surely represent an opportunity for the hosts to inch a step closer to their own survival target.
