"Starting with the hosts, flying out of the traps when opening up the new campaign back in August and winning four of their first five League One appearances, Huddersfield were suddenly installed as the standout promotion contender this season. However, last seen falling to a 2-1 loss at home against Stockport, Lee Grant's men have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion."
"All still dealing with respective injury issues, Huddersfield will once again be unable to call upon the likes of Jacob Chapman, Mickel Miller, Jack Whatmough and new recruit Marcus McGuane on Thursday night. However, recently returning to Grant's squad, former Sunderland midfielder Lynden Gooch should get some more minutes under his belt. Despite notching just a pair of League One strikes this season, former Birmingham marksman Alfie May will keep his spot leading the line."
Huddersfield began the season strongly with four wins from their first five League One matches and were viewed as leading promotion contenders. Recent form has deteriorated sharply, with a 2-1 home defeat to Stockport and only one win in six matches across all competitions leaving them outside the play-off places. EFL Cup elimination by Manchester City extended the poor run. Injuries to Jacob Chapman, Mickel Miller, Jack Whatmough and Marcus McGuane limit options, though Lynden Gooch has returned and Alfie May remains the main striker. Josh Feeney is expected to start at centre-back.
