Huddersfield Town are the biggest threat to Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion's automatic promotion hopes - according to Football on 5 pundits Chris Iwelumo and Clinton Morrison.

Town have won eight of their last 10 matches and have closed the gap to the top two by three points.

Newcastle now sit seven points ahead of the Terriers with Brighton six ahead, but David Wagner's men face the Magpies next month.

And Iwelumo agreed, claiming Town "know what it takes to get over that line".

“They have got that character," he added. "They have recruited well, Izzy Brown has been outstanding.

“They have got a great team spirit, and they know what it takes to get over that line.

“They can now kick on and really put the pressure on the top two. If they slip, Huddersfield are there.”
