TEAM NEWS
Huddersfield midfielder Danny Williams was substituted with a dead leg in the FA Cup draw against Birmingham and his fitness will be assessed.
Terence Kongolo is expected to overcome a minor problem.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson could start, having played half an hour in Saturday's FA Cup defeat by West Brom after four weeks out with a hamstring problem.
Ragnar Klavan and Adam Lallana have not recovered from muscle injuries.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Steve Bower: "The very good friends reunited theme will have to wait until after the match for David Wagner and Jurgen Klopp. Talk of teammates, best men and godfathers offers the fixture a colourful backdrop but the harsh reality is that both managers desperately need the points.
"I watched Liverpool go out of the FA Cup on Saturday, following on from their defeat at Swansea, in a lacklustre manner - with defending that is still leaving many, Klopp included, scratching their heads.
"They have to maintain their Champions League push with a more solid performance in West Yorkshire.
"Huddersfield's romantic start to their first ever Premier League season seems a distant memory. They will kick-off just two points above the relegation zone and six games without a win; it's a huge week that ends with a trip to Old Trafford."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "Liverpool have lost two games in a row. They look vulnerable at the minute.
"Does it mean we will be successful? No. Does it mean we have a chance? Absolutely.
"We have in every game, especially here at the John Smith's Stadium, and if there's a chance we will be there to grab it with both hands."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "Yes, it is right we didn't play well at Swansea but a few days before we played fantastic against Man City.
"It is how football is, how life is. Two weeks ago we had an 18-game unbeaten run and then you lose twice and everything feels different.
"We have to get immediately back on the winning track and we need results to reach our targets, we know that, but the solution is not out there in the transfer market in this moment."

Huddersfield Town
