Huddersfield Town host Middlesbrough at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday (April 1) in the Championship.
The hosts have endured a very torrid campaign, battling for survival under manager Neil Warnock as the season approaches its end. Huddersfield returned to winning ways in the league with a 1-0 win over Millwall, thanks to Daniel Ward's second-half winner.
Huddersfield are 22nd in the league with just 36 points from 38 games. They're two points above last-placed Wigan Athletic.
Middlesbrough, meanwhile, are flying in the league and have their sights on a return to the Premier League. They won 4-0 win against 10-man Preston North End in their last game, with three players getting on the scoresheet, including the in-form Chuba Akpom, who netted the opener.
