    Today is the first part of a titanic relegation double header for the Terriers with a home match against Burnley to follow on Wednesday 2 January.

    Boss David Wagner admitted earlier this week that the prospect of relegation is always on his mind.

    "It is never out of my head. Sometimes it is at the front, other times the back, but it is always with you," he said.

    Which may be why we have not had a repeat of last year's epic Wagner family Christmas video.

    A shame.
