Huddersfield Town on the verge of the Premier League and a small club like Huddersfield are taking nearly 40,000 fans to Wembley next Monday
Their manager
Wagner was second team coach at BVB when Klopp was the main man and he's brought that style of football to West Yorkshire. The Terriers are one of the fittest teams in the league and have to be to successfully play their style of football, which is so reliant on each individual pressing and counter-pressing at certain times.
The boss brought in 13 signings in the summer, most from the lower leagues in Germany, with several captains from previous clubs hooking up with Town. This has been so crucial as all the players have been leading from the front all season.
Any bargain transfers that have made the difference?
Elias Kachunga originally joined on loan at the start of the season and has taken to English football incredibly well. He has 13 goals in all competitions and was made a permanent acquisition in January. Michael Hefele and Christopher Schindler have also had standout seasons and have formed a strong partnership at the heart of the defence. Town's loan signings have also been crucial, with Izzy brown, Kasey Palmer, Danny ward and Aaron Mooy all having great seasons with the Terriers.
How are Huddersfield different to other sides in the Championship?
Town are the fittest team in the Championship and have an incredible team spirit. Wagner has instilled a great atmosphere in the squad and his 'no limits' mantra has been bought into by everyone at the club. That 'us against the world' feeling has helped Town continuously prove pundits wrong and book themselves a spot at Wembley.
How have Huddersfield made it all the way to Wembley?
The squad unity is something that has really carried Town this season, but is probably the hardest thing to replicate. Wagner has previously said the atmosphere in the squad is a 'once in a lifetime' atmosphere and it will be hard to recreate. If Warnock can do so though, it would stand Cardiff in good stead next season.
