David Wagner has now had an extra week to work with his new Huddersfield Town squad, and now has to pick a starting XI to face Middlesbrough in his first match at the John Smith's Stadium.

The boss must make at least three changes from the team that began last weekend's defeat to Sheffield Wednesday - Harry Bunn is suspended while Muzzy Carayol is ineligible to face his parent club under the terms of his loan.

Joe Murphy suffered an ankle injury against the Owls, forcing Town to re-sign young Aston Villa keeper Jed Steer on loan , and he is set to go straight into the team on Saturday.

Joel Lynch and Philip Billing continue to sit out with injury.

Dean Whitehead will be keen to retain his place in the centre of the park to take on his former side, and with his statistics so far this season there is no reason to suppose he won't be facing off against former teammate and friend Adam Clayton.

Wagner went with Kyle Dempsey at left back last week, and he was rewarded when the midfielder set up Town's goal for Sean Scannell.

However, the manager played him out of position out of necessity - believing new loan signing Ben Chilwell needed to concentrate on learning his teammates' names before taking to the field, while Jason Davidson had only recently returned from an energy-sapping international break with Australia.

Will he be tempted to give Chilwell his Terriers' debut?

Plenty of decisions for the new man to mull over in the next 24 hours.
