The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Huddersfield Town and Swansea City lock horns at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday.
The hosts have failed to win their last five games against the Swans since February 2021 and will head into the weekend looking to end this three-year spell.
Huddersfield Town failed to pull clear of the relegation zone last weekend as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Bristol City after conceding the equaliser in the 11th minute of stoppage time.
The Terriers have now failed to win eight of their last nine outings, losing four and picking up four draws since the start of March.
With 44 points from 43 matches, Huddersfield are 22nd in the Championship table, one point below 21st-placed Birmingham City just above the relegation zone.
Elsewhere, Swansea City made it four wins in five home games last time out when they edged out Rotherham United 1-0 at the Swansea.com Stadium.
This followed a comfortable 3-0 victory over Stoke City on April 10 which saw their run of two back-to-back defeats come to an end.
Swansea have picked up 53 points from 43 Championship matches to sit 14th in the league table, two points above 15th-placed Watford.
