WAGNER AIMING TO DO WHAT NO OTHER BOSS HAS MANAGED THIS SEASON - BEAT MAN CITY

Hogg is a crucial part of Town’s midfield trio, providing protection for the back four and allowing Aaron Mooy to advance further up the field.

And that is shown by Town’s stats with the defensive midfielder in the heart of the team.

This season the Terriers have lost just three league games of the seven with Hogg on the pitch (vs Tottenham Hotspur, Swansea City and Liverpool), keeping two clean sheets in the process and earning a sensational victory over Manchester United.

But with the 28-year-old returning to the fold, where does that leave the rest of the team?

With Hogg likely to partner Mooy and Danny Williams in the centre of midfield, either Elias Kachunga, Tom Ince or Rajiv van La Parra will have to drop out of the side.

Van La Parra has impressed in recent weeks, adding a final product to his game which has been missing previously.

Ince has also been a good attacking outlet for Town, although the winger has failed to reproduce the goalscoring form he displayed at Derby County last season.

With 30 efforts on goal already this campaign, the Liverpool academy product has taken the most shots without scoring in the Premier League, but is getting into dangerous areas.

Kachunga has also failed to notch a goal so far this season despite having one wrongly ruled out for offside against Leicester City - but has not found himself in the same areas as Ince.
