Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers return to action when they go head to head in one of the EFL Championship Boxing Day fixtures on Tuesday. Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men have failed to win their last seven visits to the John Smith's Stadium and will head into this one looking to bring this poor run to an end.
Huddersfield Town failed to pull clear of the relegation zone as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Norwich City on Saturday. Darren Moore’s men have now gone five consecutive games without a win, losing twice and picking up three draws since a 2-1 victory over Sunderland on November 29.
With 22 points from 23 matches, Huddersfield Town are currently 21st in the EFL Championship table, just two points above the bottom three.
On the other hand, Blackburn Rovers suffered yet another defeat last time out as they were beaten 2-1 by Watford at the Ewood Park. Tomasson’s side have now lost four of their last five matches, with a 2-1 win over Bristol City on December 12 being the exception.
With 31 points from 23 games, Blackburn are currently 14th in the league standings but could move level with eighth-placed Norwich with all three points on Tuesday.
