Huddersfield defender Christopher Schindler believes the club’s “electric” home support is key to their Premier League survival chances.

And he will have no complaints if their influence leads to a decision or two going their way against Albion today.

A sold-out John Smith’s Stadium has roared the Terriers to three home league wins and two draws this season and they will bid to snap a four-game losing run when they return to face the Seagulls.

Town have not fared well on the road. Recent defeats at Bournemouth, Arsenal and Everton have seen them slide down the table but Schindler feels another full house at their stronghold can help them bounce back.

Huddersfield have made todays game Scarf Day and have urged their fans to “bring ‘em and swing ‘em.”

Meanwhile Albion will be roared on by a following of 2,200.

Asked about the full house, Schindler said: “This is unbelievable.

“In this period now, where we have dropped a few games and not just the result wasn’t good, but the performance wasn’t great, the support has still been immense and that’s what we need to have a chance of staying up.

“As a team we all talk about it in the changing rooms and we’re impressed by how big the support is in every single home game, it’s electric.

“We need this to put pressure on the opponents and the referee or on the performances of opposing players.

“That’s maybe the reason why we have our home form, which we also had last season.”

Helped by a special offer on tickets, Huddersfield attracted, at the time, one of the best ever attendances at their 23-year-old home as they swept aside Albion 3-1 last season.

Central defender Schindler, who arrived from 1860 Munich in the summer of 2016, said the expectation of some clubs’ fans can have a negative impact.

He added: “At my former club, it’s quite comparable to Leeds here maybe.

“A big past, a lot of expectation and expectation that’s not in the real world,” he said.

“It was like that (at 1860 Munich), so there was a lot of frustration as well and when we weren’t doing well in the second division, the atmosphere put pressure on the home side.

“Here it’s totally different as everyone knows where we’ve come from and this makes it way easier.”

Huddersfield head coach David Wagner is expected to choose from an unchanged squad for the home game with Albion.

Centre-half Martin Cranie is hoping to recover from an ankle knock and Wagner has no new injury or suspension worries following last week’s defeat at Everton.

Winger Rajiv van La Parra serves the final game of his three-match suspension.
