What is the form of Manchester United as compared to Huddersfield's?

Manchester United approaches the Boxing Day fixture with a big win in its previous league game against Cardiff City. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's debut as interim manager of the Red Devils following Jose Mourinho's depart was a success with his side cruising to a 5-1 victory against the Seagulls on Saturday. While the ride has been far from smooth, the Old Trafford outfit relishes the idea of a change in fortune following a lethargic spell under Jose Mourinho.

In the last 10 games, the 20-time English champions have managed just four, picking up three draws and defeats along the line. At home, Manchester United has not been as formidable as per its reputation, managing four wins and three draws from eight matches.

Huddersfield, on the other hand, boasts the fourth-worst away record in the league this season. David Wagner's side has won just one out of eight matches, drawing two and losing five.

Over the last 10 matches across all competitions, The Terriers have just two wins under their belts while losing seven and drawing one. Huddersfield is without a win in its last five Premier League outing.
