Huddersfield Town host Sheffield United at the John Smith's Stadium on Thursday (May 4) in the Championship.
The hosts have had their struggles this season but have picked up important points in recent weeks and are now closing in on safety. Huddersfield beat Cardiff City 2-1 in their last game, getting on the scoresheet twice in the second half before their opponents scored a late consolation.
Huddersfield are 21st in the league table with 47 points from 44 games. They're three points above Reading in the first relegation spot. Sheffield, meanwhile, have secured promotion to the Premier League but will look to round up their season on a high.
They beat Preston North End 4-1 at the weekend, with four players getting on the scoresheet in a dominant performance.

Huddersfield's latest result snapped their three-game winless streak, and they will now look to build on that this week. They're unbeaten in their last four home games.
Sheffield, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back wins and have won their last four games. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see the visitors win this one.
