Team News

Plymouth
Huddersfield
  • Steven Schumacher has some tough decisions to make on the opening day, no more so than at the back with Dan Scarr, Julio Pleguezuelo and Lewis Gibson all battling for two spots.
  • Summer signing Finn Azaz is unfit and will only feature as a substitute at best, while Mickel Miller is carrying a knock and remains doubtful.
  • Neil Warnock will likely opt for a 3-4-3 system this weekend with Jack Rudoni partnering Brahima Diarra in central midfield in the absence of the injured David Kasumu.
  • Japanese defender Yuta Nakagama is now back in training after returning from a season-ending Achilles injury, but he remains some way off match fitness.

Prediction

  • Plymouth secured a miraculous promotion to the Championship last campaign, defying the odds to book their place in the Championship for the 2023/24 season. Few believed Steven Schumacher's men could retain their momentum in the title challenge against the might of Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich, and their underdog spirit will be key to success as they look to stave off the drop.
  • Huddersfield's escape from relegation last season was nothing more than miraculous and entrenched Neil Warnock's legacy as one of the greatest coaches in EFL history. The Terriers, who were plum last when he took over, finished their season with three straight wins to secure their survival with a game to spare. This season looks set to be another battle against the drop, but in Warnock they have the man for the job.
