In search of their first EFL Championship win in four games, Huddersfield Town play host to Coventry City at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors head into the game on a four-game winless run and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Huddersfield Town snapped their two-game losing streak last Saturday after they played out a 1-1 draw away to Barnsley.

Prior to that, Carlos Corberan’s men fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of QPR on November 24 before losing 2-1 against Middlesbrough three days later.

Huddersfield Town have now picked up one win from their last six games and this poor run of results has seen them drop to 11th in the EFL Championship table.

Meanwhile, Coventry City saw their run of three straight draws come to an end as they lost 2-1 against West Bromwich Albion last time out.

Similarly, Mark Robins’ men have managed just one win from their last six games, losing twice and claiming three draws in that time.

With 33 points from 21 games, Coventry City are currently seventh on the log, one point behind Stoke City in the final playoff spot.
