Danny Williams looks ahead to another tough match against Tottenham, who beat Huddersfield 4-0 and 2-0 last season. Tottenham reached the last 16 of the Carabao Cup as they beat Watford in a penalty shootout in Milton Keynes.

Huddersfield Town and U.S. international midfielder Danny Williams has told ESPN FC that it's a good time to be facing Tottenham ahead of the sides' clash on Saturday. 

Spurs suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions for the first time under Mauricio Pochettino earlier this month but bounced back with a Premier League win away to Brighton and a penalty-shootout victory in the Carabao Cup against Watford this week. 

But Huddersfield, who are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table and are without a win in their first six games, will be looking to capitalise on Spurs' uncertain start when they meet at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

"It's probably a good thing that we face them now," Williams, 29, said. "They've not had the best start to the season but we all know that Tottenham are one of the best teams in the Premier League.

"Playing against them last season was one of the toughest games I've played. Their work-rate is amazing, every player works so hard for the other players and they showed us last year at home what we can expect when they destroyed us.

"But I hope we learn from that game and at the end of the day it's about us. We shouldn't make it easy for them because they should still remember that Huddersfield is not an easy place to go to. I hope that we can still take points out of the game but it's going to be very, very hard."
