(Significant Opta Stat: Huddersfield have lost their last seven league games against Leicester, their joint-longest losing run versus an opponent.)
It's going to be fascinating to see how Huddersfield react to their first league defeat - and first goals conceded - of the season when they host Leicester on Saturday. My money is on them not reacting well, and another defeat following.
Of course you have to give David Wagner's men credit for the start they made, I don't deny that, but I'll repeat what I said prior to their trip to West Ham. The Terriers beat a Crystal Palace side who we now know were dreadful under Frank de Boer. They narrowly beat another newly-promoted club on home soil. And they could manage only a draw at home to a Southampton team who I also believe are there for the taking right now.
I'm not trying to take the gloss of what Huddersfield have achieved so far because I agree, seven points accumulated from their opening three games was a terrific start. But you have to look at the quality of the sides they faced and keep things firmly in perspective.
Wagner's men went to West Ham on Monday night and they rarely threatened with the manager himself admitting his side were deservedly beaten. As I say, it's going to be fascinating to see how they react to that defeat and Wagner's seemingly harsh, but accurate, words.
Leicester sit just above the relegation zone in the early standings but it's impossible to dispute that they were handed a very tough set of fixtures to start the season. They've faced Arsenal and Manchester United away from home, and last week hosted champions Chelsea. They performed with credit in all three of those game, losing by a single goal to the Gunners and Blues, while only falling behind at Old Trafford in the 70th minute.
The Foxes' only other Premier League game was a comfortable victory over newly-promoted Brighton, and an away match at Huddersfield - a team they've defeated in all of their last seven league meetings - gives them an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways.
Craig Shakespeare's men - as they did during their title winning season - look to have an extremely dangerous counter-attacking look to them and I'm hopeful they can utilise that strength at the John Smith's Stadium.
Expect the Terriers to have most of the possession, but if Leicester can defend as we know they can then don't be surprised if Wagner's men get put under huge pressure once they lose the ball up field. The Foxes have the quality to turn defence into attack extremely quickly and I fancy this will be key to taking all three points on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool 1.30 v Burnley 12.50; The Draw 6.20
(Significant Opta Stat: Burnley have won just once in their last 23 away games versus Liverpool in all competitions (D4 L18), losing their last nine in a row.)
You could have put your life on Burnley securing a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon as soon as they were gifted a third minute lead.
Okay, it might not have been that clear cut but I'm sure you get my gist. Burnley are excellent at defending leads and seeing out games, especially against the lesser lights. Tell Sean Dyche he can start any game leading 1-0 and I'm pretty confident he'd line up with one goalkeeper and 10 defenders.
That's not a criticism, it's just how the Burnley boss goes about his business, and you can't argue with the results he's had in the last 14 months. He'll got to Anfield on Saturday with the same attitude, try and defend the clean sheet and if they can grab something at the other end then all the better.
So Liverpool have to be patient as it might turn out to be an extremely frustrating afternoon. Crystal Palace came with the same mentality, and lost only to a late Sadio Mane goal.
On the flip side however, if Jurgen Klopp's men do go ahead early - as they did against Arsenal - then they could easily win by three or four.
The percentage call has to be to back the Reds to get that early goal, or at least a first half goal, and if that's the case and Burnley decide to try and get back into the game, then I'm confident that we'll witness a comfortable home win.

Watford 10.00 v Manchester City 1.36; The Draw 6.00
(Significant Opta Stat: Sergio Aguero has been involved in seven goals in four previous appearances against the Hornets (six goals, one assist).)
Manchester City have been sensational since the international break, winning two games in the space of five days by a combined aggregate of 9-0! It's hard not to be impressed, but it's equally hard not to be impressed with the start Watford have made.
The Hornets are unbeaten having won two and drawn two of their four league games, recording three clean sheets in the process. They did concede three goals at home to Liverpool however, and it's impossible not to see Manchester City getting on the scoresheet a few times at least also.
After leaving Sergio Aguero on the bench for the hard-fought 2-1 win over Bournemouth Pep Guardiola has since started the brilliant Argentine in a two-pronged frontline alongside Gabriel Jesus for a return of five goals between them in those two recent wins.
It looks certain that Guardiola will stick with the same front two on Saturday, and given that Aguero has a fantastic record against the Hornets then who can blame him.
So yes, I fancy Man City to keep up their impressive recent form and I can see Aguero and Jesus getting amongst the goals again in another victory, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit should Watford get on the scoresheet themselves.
Marco Silva's men scored three at home to Liverpool on the opening weekend of the season, and even though City ran out 5-0 winners against the same opponents last weekend they looked far from comfortable at the back until Sadio Mane was dismissed. Vincent Kompany will be absent again, and that's a big loss, and I expect a confident Watford side to get amongst the goals.
I was going to go for a Man City win with both teams getting on the scoresheet, which is available to back at 13/8 on the Sportsbook, but at the slightly less price of 2.40 I see far more benefits to backing Over 3.5 Goals. I'll have a saver on the 1-2 City win (though won't put it up as a bet here) but backing at least four goals to be scored get lots of away wins on board - 1-3, 1-4, 2-3 etc - plus the high-scoring draws.
