Huddersfield Town will host Sunderland at the John Smith's Stadium on Wednesday night in another round of Championship football.
The home side have struggled to come alive this season and currently find themselves in the drop zone. However, they returned to winning ways last weekend with a 1-0 win over Millwall, with Yuta Nakayama scoring the sole goal of the game with a speculative effort in the opening 10 minutes of the game.
Huddersfield sit 23rd in the league table with just 15 points from 16 games. They are just one point above last-placed West Bromwich Albion and will be looking to widen that gap on Wednesday.
Sunderland have enjoyed a fairly positive start to their season but have since lost their way. They played out a 1-1 draw against Luton Town last time out, with Elliot Embleton coming off the bench to score the leveler from close-range.
The visitors have picked up 21 points from 17 league games this season and sit 16th in the Championship standings. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways when they play this week.
