Huddersfield Town and Luton Town go head-to-head at the John Smith's Stadium as round 41 of the EFL Championship comes to an end on Monday.
This will be the second meeting between the sides this season after the spoils were shared in a goalless draw back in October’s reverse fixture.
Huddersfield Town returned to winning ways last Friday as they saw off 10-man Hull City 1-0 away from home.
Prior to that, they were on a four-game winless run, claiming one draw and three defeats, including a 2-1 loss against Nottingham Forest on March 7 which saw their FA Cup run come to an end.
The victory over the Tigers saw Huddersfield Town rise to fourth place in the EFL Championship table after picking up 66 points from 40 games so far.
Elsewhere, Luton Town were involved in a share of the spoils last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Peterborough United.
They are now unbeaten in each of their last four outings, claiming two wins and two draws since a 2-1 defeat against QPR back in March.
Luton Town are currently fifth in the standings with 65 points from 40 games and will be looking to leapfrog Monday’s hosts and strengthen their position in the upper echelons of the table.
