Form

Chelsea is currently in 3rd position in the Premier League with 25 points. That’s 9 points adrift of Manchester City after just 12 games. Chelsea has been in good away form this season with 15 points from a possible 18. They have also won 4 games in a row and will be looking to build on that win streak.

Huddersfield Town is having a really good debut season in the Premier League. They currently sit in the middle of the table in 10th position. They have scored only 8 goals while conceding 17 goals, but scored those goals when it mattered the most. They managed to beat Manchester United 2-1 at home.

Squads

This game is cramped in a very busy December schedule. Chelsea plays 11 games over 35 days and will need to rest key players for the big games. That means some of the big names such as Morata, Hazard, Kante, etc. might be rested for this game. An injury to a key player will hamper whatever odds they have left on retaining the Premier League.

Predicted Result

Chelsea should win this game easily by a 3 goal margin. The only thing working in Huddersfield Town’s favor is the home game advantage. Their recent run of games has been average, to say the least. Chelsea to win 0-3 or 1-4.
