Prediction published on 30/12/2017, 17:27  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 02/01/2018 at 04:02 in Premier League Predictions

Leicester City start the year in eighth place and are three places and three points above their opponents Huddersfield Town. The Foxes took an early lead at Anfield on Saturday but eventually lost the game 2-1 thanks to two Mo Salah goals. With respect to Huddersfield, they don't quite have a player of that quality in their ranks. Leicester go into this game on a run of four league games without a win but those have included matches against Manchester United and Liverpool. At home they have earned seven points in three recent games against sides iin the top seven and have Vardy and Mahrez in good form. Huddersfield are 11th in the table and would have settled for that postion at this time of the year when the season began in August. They are only six points above the bottom three though and have drawn their last three league games. Huddersfield have only won one of their last nine away league games and aside from a 4-1 win at out-of-form Watford have managed just a single goal in their last eight on the road. WIth away games to come against four of the top six, they are still likely to be involved in the relegation battle come the end of the season. Leicester have the players to win this game so go for a home win.
