West Bromwich Albion will be aiming to stay within touching distance of the Championship top two when they travel to Huddersfield Town.
The third-placed Baggies are currently six points behind the automatic promotion spots, while the Terriers are eighth and chasing a place in the playoffs.

Valerien Ismael said that it was a "lack of quality in the final third" that cost West Brom in their 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough before the international break.
Grady Diangana netted a second-half equaliser against Boro as the Baggies struggled with the absences of key players.
An inconsistent run of form – they have not won back-to-back games since the end of September – has seen them lose pace with Bournemouth and Fulham ahead of them.
While they remain unbeaten at home, West Brom have lost three successive matches on the road and were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Fulham on their most recent away day.

Huddersfield have five wins from their last seven games on home turf and have kept three consecutive clean sheets at the John Smith's Stadium.
However, their form in general has been shaky and a run of just one victory in five has seen them drop out of the playoff positions.
The Terriers conceded in the 93rd minute to lose 2-1 to Cardiff City a fortnight ago, with Carlos Corberan admitting that it was "a very difficult defeat to accept".
Huddersfield trail sixth-placed Queens Park Rangers by one point, but travel to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Tuesday.
The Yorkshire outfit have won three of their last four meetings with West Brom, with the Baggies failing to win at the John Smith's Stadium since 2010.

Both Jonathan Hogg and Duane Holmes were forced off through injury in Huddersfield's defeat to Cardiff before the international break but could feature on Saturday.
Striker Jordan Rhodes is back in training having been out since August with a back injury, but is not yet ready to feature.
Rhodes' return will be timely though, as Danny Ward only has four goals to his name this season and Fraizer Campbell is yet to score.
Matt Clarke went off injured early in West Brom's clash against Middlesbrough a fortnight ago and will be assessed in the lead up to kickoff.
Jake Livermore was not risked against Boro due to a hamstring strain, but is expected to return at the John Smith's Stadium.
Norwich City loanee Jordan Hugill has only scored once in 13 appearances this season but is pushing for a recall ahead of Callum Robinson upfront.
Huddersfield Town possible starting lineup:
Nicholls; Pearson, Lees, Colwill; Thomas, Hogg, O'Brien, Toffolo; Sinani, Ward, Koroma
West Bromwich Albion possible starting lineup:
Johnstone; Kipre, Bartley, Townsend; Furlong, Livermore, Snodgrass, Reach; Diangana, Grant; Hugill
We say: Huddersfield Town 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
Taking into account Huddersfield's strong record at home and West Brom's poor run on the road, the Terriers may actually be favourites against their higher-ranked opponents. We think it will be a tight affair and cannot separate the two sides.
