The bet365 Stadium is the venue for an Easter Monday Championship bottom-half battle as 17th-placed Stoke City entertain relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town.
With just seven games left to be played in the season, Huddersfield are still in the Championship relegation zone, albeit only due to an inferior goal difference than Birmingham, so the Terriers will need to start picking up points soon if they are to avoid the drop.
Anyone from 15th-placed Swansea down cannot rest easy just yet, but Stoke, currently sitting in 17th place in the standings, can create a significant buffer with the survival-chasing pack with a home win over the struggling Terriers on Easter Monday.
The Potters have finally found their footing under manager Steven Schumacher, winning three of their previous five games, including a 2-0 victory over Hull City on the road on Good Friday.
