The Huddersfield Town dilemmas facing Carlos Corberan ahead of Luton play-off clash tonight

Huddersfield Town face Luton Town tonight in the first leg of their play-off semi-final doubleheader. 

Carlos Corberan’s side secured third in the table after four wins on the bounce heading into the play-offs, with Luton the first hurdle for them to overcome in their quest to secure a place in the Premier League next season.

Nathan Jones will have Luton set-up in a way that will test Town, although it’s something Corberan has managed to overcome once already this season, beating the Hatters 2-0 just a month ago.

Despite Huddersfield’s recent form and the fact that they are favourites heading into the fixture, there are a couple of dilemmas facing Corberan.

They centre around his team selection, though, which heading into a play-off campaign is hardly a bad thing:

Jonathan Hogg’s role 

It’s hard to imagine that Hogg won’t be involved in the starting XI tonight, it’s more a matter of the role he’s asked to play.

With Matty Pearson out injured, we’ve seen Hogg drop into the middle of a back-three, flanked by Levi Colwill and Tom Lees. Pearson won’t feature tonight, heightening the possibility of that happening again.

5-3-2 feels like Huddersfield’s best formation heading into the play-offs, although Corberan is notoriously difficult to call.

It might be that he favours a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, which would then see Hogg push up into the midfield role he’s made his own over the years.

To Corberan, however, this might not feel much of a dilemma, more just selecting the right system for the occasion.

Risking O’Brien 

What’s more of a dilemma is gambling on the fitness of Lewis O’Brien.

O’Brien was carrying a problem into the final stages of the regular season and was, understandably, not risked by Huddersfield.
