Huddersfield Town
- Huddersfield have won three of their last four home games in the Premier League, with the only defeat in this run coming against first-placed Manchester City.
- Huddersfield have won more points this season after 16 games (18) than all three of the newly-promoted sides did after 16 games in 2016-17 - Burnley (16), Middlesbrough (15) & Hull City (12).
- Eight of Steve Mounie's 18 league goals since the start of last season have been from headers (44%) - including two of his four for Huddersfield this season.
- David Wagner will be missing center backs Michael Hefele and Jon Gorenc-Stankovic and center midfielder Philip Billing due to injuries.
Chelsea
- This will be the first top-flight meeting between these sides since January 1972, which finished in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
- The John Smith's Stadium could become the 50th ground at which Chelsea have won a Premier League game - making them the fourth club to reach that figure (Liverpool 53, Arsenal and Manchester United 50).
- Chelsea have already dropped 16 points in their 16 Premier League games this season - they only dropped 21 in the whole of 2016-17 in the competition (winning 93/114).
- Eden Hazard has been involved in 99 Premier League goals for Chelsea (62 goals, 37 assists) - he would be the fourth Chelsea player to reach a century of goal involvements in the Premier League after Frank Lampard (237), Didier Drogba (159) and Gianfranco Zola (101).
