Huddersfield Town face Swansea City on Saturday

Fresh off the back of an impressive FA Cup victory over Premier League side Burnley, Huddersfield Town play host to Swansea City at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, are currently on a run of four consecutive defeats in all competitions and will be seeking to end this dry spell.

Huddersfield Town maintained their fine run of results as they saw off Burnley 2-1 to secure smooth passage into the fourth round of the FA Cup last Saturday.

Carlos Corberan’s men are now unbeaten in each of their last seven games, claiming four wins and three draws since November’s 2-1 defeat against Middlesbrough.

With 40 points from 26 games, Huddersfield Town are currently sixth in the EFL Championship table, one point above Middlesbrough just outside the playoffs places.

Meanwhile, Swansea City were dumped out of the FA Cup last time out after losing 3-2 against Southampton in extra-time.

The Swans have now lost each of their last four games on the spin, shipping 11 goals in that time, while scoring five.

This horrid spell has seen Swansea City drop to 17th place in the Championship, level on 27 points with Birmingham City.
