Steve Bruce is looking forward to facing promotion-chasing Huddersfield Town – because it will be a useful barometer of where Aston Villa are at. David Wagner’s Terriers are third in the table, six points behind second-placed Brighton but with a game in hand.

The 24-year-old has been one of the Terriers’ star players this season with the side third in the Championship. Kachunga has scored ten goals this season and his form in a wide attacking role has reportedly attracted the interest of the Hornets.
