Huddersfield Town entertain Sheffield Wednesday in a Yorkshire Derby on Saturday at 12:30 with the chase for the top two positions in full swing.
Wednesday currently sit 3 points ahead of Town in 3rd place in league one.
The Owls will be hoping for a victory and to potentially go a point clear of rivals Sheffield United who play at home against Town’s Easter Monday opponents Bournemouth.
Huddersfield will have ideas of their own as they can potentially leapfrog the Owls with three points that will see both sides on 77 points but Town’s superior goal difference (+10) would gift them 3rd place.
Huddersfield Team News:
Jack Hunt is suspended after collecting his tenth yellow card of the season against Leyton orient.
Oscar Gobern & Damien Johnson, both hamstring injuries are set to miss out again, whilst ex-Blade Gary Naysmith is also sidelined with a knee injury.
