Huddersfield Town and Plymouth Argyle return to action in the EFL Championship when they square off at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday.
Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results in the FA Cup, with the Pilgrims claiming a comfortable home victory over Sutton United.
Huddersfield Town were simply outplayed and outwitted by Manchester City in last Sunday's FA Cup clash as they suffered a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Pep Guardiola’s men.
This was in keeping with their struggles in the Championship, where they have managed just one win in their last eight outings while losing four and claiming three draws since the start of December.
With 25 points from 26 matches, Huddersfield are currently 21st in the league table, just three points above the dotted line.
Plymouth Argyle, on the other hand, cruised through the FA Cup third round courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Sutton United last Saturday.
Head coach Ian Foster will hope the cup win can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as his side now look to end their run of four consecutive games without a win in the Championship.
With 29 points from 26 matches, Plymouth Argyle are currently 18th in the league standings, level on points with 19th-placed Stoke City.
