Seeking to move into the promotion playoff places, Huddersfield Town host Derby County at the John Smith's Stadium on Wednesday.
This will be the second meeting between the sides after the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw when they met in this season’s curtain-raiser back in August.
Huddersfield Town were held to a 1-1 draw by a dogged Stoke City side when they met last Friday.
Carlos Corberan’s men are now unbeaten in their last 10 games across all competitions, claiming five wins and five draws since November’s 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough.
With 45 points from 29 games, Huddersfield Town are currently seventh in the EFL Championship table, level on points with Middlesbrough and West Brom in the playoff places.
Meanwhile, Derby turned in a performance of the highest quality as they scored twice in the final 10 minutes to snatch a 2-2 draw against Birmingham City.
Wayne Rooney’s side are now unbeaten in all but one of their last seven league games, picking up four wins in that time.
This upturn in form has seen them edge closer to safety as they are now just seven points behind Reading just outside the relegation places after a 21-point deduction.
Huddersfield Town vs Derby County Head-To-Head
This will be the 100th meeting between the sides. Cardiff City boast a superior record in their previous encounters, winning 41 games. Huddersfield Town have picked up 30 wins in that time, while 28 games have ended all square.
