Huddersfield boss expecting tough test against 'talented' Sunderland side

Darren Moore has described Sunderland as a ‘very fluid team’ ahead of Huddersfield’s visit to the Stadium of Light.

The Terriers arrive on Wearside having won just one game in their last 11 matches and with just one win away from home all season.

It is a run of form that has left them 21st in the Championship table and nervously looking over their shoulder at the bottom three.

Meanwhile, Sunderland’s home form has improved this season, with the Black Cats winning five of their eight games at the Stadium of Light so far this campaign.

Moore, then, is expecting a tough test against Sunderland, but it is one he is relishing and he hopes his players will too.

"At home [Sunderland are] a very strong team and very fluid with the attacking options they've got,” Moore said.

“Whoever they go with it's the same outcome with how fluid and effective they are. They've got the home record they've got because they're very effective at what they do.

"Myself and the players are looking forward to the challenge of tomorrow night. We know we have to keep adding to our game and improve week in week out and get that understanding between the players. We have to come together as a group and face it together."

"[Tony Mowbray] has done brilliant wherever he's been in the game and wants to play football in the right manner. He's got a talented group and we have full respect for what he's doing, and there's elements of it that I'm trying to apply here.

"It's always a process: to get things right it's not like turning on a light switch. But we want to make sure the progression and the process are going in the right direction."
