Seeking to move into second place in the EFL Championship standings, Huddersfield Town play host to Peterborough United at the John Smith's Stadium on Friday.
This will be the second meeting between the sides this season after the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw back in November’s reverse fixture.
Huddersfield Town maintained their fine run as they claimed a 2-0 win over Birmingham City away from home last Sunday.
Carlos Corberan’s side head into Friday’s game unbeaten in each of their last 17 games across all competitions, dating back to November’s 2-1 loss at the hands of Middlesbrough.
With 59 points from 35 games, Huddersfield Town are currently third in the EFL Championship table, two points off second-placed Bournemouth.
Meanwhile, Peterborough United were dumped out of the FA Cup last time out courtesy of a 2-0 loss against Premier League champions Manchester City.
They now head to the EFL Championship where they are on an 11-game winless run, managing just two draws in that time.
Peterborough United now face the risk of relegation as they sit rooted to the bottom of the league table with just 21 points from 33 games.
