Huddersfield Town take on the visitors Chelsea at the Kirklees Stadium in the 1st tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in Huddersfield on Saturday, August 11th.
Huddersfield Town were a new team in the Premier League last season and they almost got immediately relegated back to the Championship. They placed 16th in the table in the end. This summer has been super productive for the team because their squad has been enhanced with Adama Diakhaby, Erik Durm, Terence Kongolo, Floren Hardergjonaj, Juninho Bacuna and Ramadan Sobhi. Furthermore, the Terriers have lost no key players from their last season`s squad except for Tom Ince. Huddersfield Town have had nine friendly matches this summer, won four times, drew two and lost three.

Chelsea are starting their season under the management of their new head coach Maurizio Sarri who has replaced his compatriot Antonio Conte. The Blues have done no transfers at all this summer and have been enhanced just by the players who have returned from their loans in other clubs. The team has already played one official game this season, they lost the 2018 FA Community Shield match to Manchester City with a 0-2 score.
Huddersfield Town have a lot of new great players in their squad. However, they need time to achieve the teamwork and will probably look not that good in the upcoming match. Chelsea have had a lot of changes too and have to rebuild the team with a new coach and a new playing style. Their level though is light years ahead from the level of the Terriers so they should win in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win.
