Nottingham Forest find themselves hanging just a couple of points from sitting in the relegation zone, while Huddersfield arrive with intentions of keeping themselves firmly in third place with a view to catching second-placed Brighton.
Forest have won just one of their last 10 Championship games, with that solitary victory coming in a surprise 3-0 win over automatic promotion chasing Brighton, but since then things have worsened.
The hosts have only conceded five goals in their last four games, which has given them the fighting chance of picking up results, but Huddersfield should be a bridge too far for them to conquer.
Huddersfield bounced back from some stuttering form last time out, as they comfortably beat Norwich 3-0 to pick up their confidence again - which should stand them in good stead for the weekend.
Nakhi Wells, Elias Kachunga and Aaron Mooy popped up with the goals last time out for David Wagner’s side, and the German boss will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday.
After bouncing back from consecutive defeats, the Terriers should be confident of travelling away to pick up three points, with the risk of dropping lower in the play-off places surely in the back of their mind.
