The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town lock horns at the Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday.
Having picked up a 4-0 victory in October’s reverse fixture, the Bluebirds will look to do the league double over the visitors for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign.
Cardiff City kept their slim hopes of securing a playoff spot alive as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bristol City last Saturday.
Prior to that, the Bluebirds snapped their four-game winless run on February 24 courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Stoke City at the Cardiff City Stadium.
With 47 points from 35 matches, Cardiff are currently 11th in the Championship table, level on points with 10th-placed Sunderland and nine points adrift of the playoff places.
Elsewhere, Huddersfield Town picked up a huge point in their battle at the wrong end of the table as they held title-chasing Leeds United to a 1-1 draw at the weekend.
The Terriers have now gone unbeaten in three of their last four matches, claiming two wins and one draw since mid-February.
With 38 points from 35 matches, Huddersfield Town are currently 21st in the league table, level on points with Queens Park Rangers, Birmingham City and 22nd-placed Stoke City in the relegation zone.
