Third-placed Chelsea will be eager to bounce back from their shock defeat by relegation-threatened West Ham United.

But they will travel to the John Smith's Stadium to face a Huddersfield side that have won four and drawn two of their eight home league games this season.

"I don't think Chelsea or anyone fancies coming here," Ince said.

"The way we get in people's faces, we stop people playing. We win our tackles, we win our battles, we make it difficult for teams.

"Chelsea have got talent in abundance. But we feel we can cause any team problems here.

"We beat Man United here - we deserved to beat Man United - and we ran Man City close."

Huddersfield, who are 12th in the standings, beat second-placed United at home in October and their only two home league defeats came against leaders City and top four contenders Tottenham Hotspur.
