Huddersfield Town play host to Blackburn Rovers at the John Smith's Stadium in round 10 of the EFL Championship on Tuesday.

The hosts head into the game without a win in their last two outings, while the visitors are unbeaten in their last four.

Huddersfield Town’s slump in form continued last time out when they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea City.

Prior to that, Carlos Corberan’s men picked up a 3-0 win away to Blackpool sandwiched between defeats against Stoke City and Nottingham Forest.

With 13 points from nine games, Huddersfield Town are currently seventh in the EFL Championship table, three points behind Tuesday’s visitors.

Blackburn Rovers, meanwhile, returned to winning ways last Sunday as they thrashed Cardiff City 5-1 on home turf.

This followed an uneventful goalless draw against Barnsley when they squared off at the Oakwell Ground Stadium.

Blackburn Rovers head into Tuesday’s game unbeaten in each of their last five games, picking up two wins and three draws.
