Preview: Huddersfield Town vs. Hull City

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship meeting between local rivals Huddersfield and Hull at the Galpharm Stadium.

Passions will be running high at the Galpharm Stadium on Saturday as Huddersfield Town play host to Yorkshire rivals Hull City in the Championship.

Huddersfield have edged clear of the relegation zone in recent weeks, while second-placed Hull sit two points above the playoff places with eight games left to play.

Steve Bruce's side claimed a 2-0 victory when the teams met at the KC Stadium back in December.

Jermaine Beckford remains available for the hosts, despite breaking his hand while on international duty with Jamaica in midweek, but Keith Southern misses out with an Achilles problem.

Abdoulaye Faye has been tipped to start for the visitors in place of the injured Paul McShane, though Matty Fryatt has yet to recover from Achilles surgery.
