Huddersfield Town will welcome Bournemouth to the John Smith's Stadium on Tuesday for a matchday 38 fixture in the EFL Championship.
The hosts come into this clash on the back of a goalless draw with Rotherham United at the same venue.
Bournemouth ran amok in a 4-1 thrashing of Coventry City on Saturday. Arnaut Danjuma scored in the first minute, only to see his goal canceled out by Matthew James just two minutes later.
Danjuma completed a first-half brace that was added to second-half goals by David Brooks and Dominic Solanke to complete the rout.
That victory saw the Cherries usurp Reading into the final playoff spot in sixth, while Huddersfield Town are eight points above the dropzone in 19th place.
