One player that entered and had an immediate effect was Jaidon Anthony. Mateo Joseph made just his second start of the season and scored the team’s first two goals.
The midfield duo of Archie Grey and Ethan Ampadu, who have both been needed at the back in the league, was the starting lineup that Farke selected after making a few positional alterations.

He said: “I thought Archie was wonderful tonight, the way that he covered grass, you know he’s matured so much as a player. In this second half when Firpo was coming down the left, Archie is playing the ball to him and shouting for him to get forward.
“He’s actually dictating the play as a 17-year-old. He’s ordering 26-28-year-old men around as a kid, it doesn’t happen in another work place. It’s great to see that maturity, belief and football intelligence.
“I think he’s put a real marker down there tonight and said to Daniel Farke maybe you need to have a little think about this.”

After suffering an injury that prevented him from playing against Chelsea, Ilia Gruev might not be ready to play against Huddersfield Town. In that case, Grey and Glen Kamara in the middle of the field with Ampadu at centre back and Roberts on the right could
