Two sides from opposite ends of the EFL Championship table cross swords as Huddersfield Town host a determined and diligent Leeds United at the John Smith's Stadium.
Huddersfield Town have managed three victories and two defeats in their previous five domestic outings as they have accumulated 37 points in 34 games. The Terriers are 19th in the league table and would want to replicate the heroics that they produced against Watford last time out.
Leeds United suffered a heartbreak at Stamford Bridge as Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea dumped the Championship side out of the FA Cup in the 5th Round. Despite their exit, the Whites are just six points behind Leicester City in the table and would be vying to continue their domestic domination against Huddersfield.

Team news & squads
Huddersfield Town team news
The injury concerns for Huddersfield include Rhys Healey (groin), Oliver Turton (Cruciate ligament), Michal Helik (knock), Josh Ruffels (groin), and Jaheim Headley (knee).
In attack, the Terriers would stick with Danny Ward who bagged a second-half brace against Watford to turn around the scoreline in favour of his side. If Ward is added to the attack, manager Andre Breitenreiter could swap the English forward for Dutch striker Delano Burgzorg or English forward Josh Koroma with the duo being preferred before Ward's brace.

Leeds United team news
The Whites have multiple names ruled out in defence with centre-back Stuart Dallas nursing a hip injury, right-back Sam Bryan recovering from a leg injury, and Dutch defender Pascal Struijk healing from a groin problem.
Mateo Joseph opened his Leeds goalscoring account with a brace against Chelsea as the English youngster scored on either side of half-time. He will likely continue on the flanks for the visitors.
The Whites will be bolstered by the return of forwards Georginio Rutter, Patrick Bamford and Crysencio Summerville.
