Norwich City make the trip to Huddersfield Town on Wednesday evening looking for the win which may move the club back into the Championship playoff spots.
While the Canaries currently occupy seventh place in the standings, Huddersfield remain in 23rd position, six points adrift of safety.

On the back of scoring eight goals in three successive wins, facing a Sunderland side that had previously conceded five to Stoke City appeared to be the ideal fixture for Norwich City.
However, David Wagner watched his side succumb to a 1-0 defeat to the Black Cats, boosting their opponent's bid for the top six as well as impacting their own.
Norwich are still on an upward trajectory under Wagner, who has collected 19 points from his opening 10 league matches since his arrival in January.
Nevertheless, losing in such circumstances to Sunderland will have reminded the German that he and his squad have much work ahead to remain in contention for an immediate return to the Premier League.
The same can be said of Huddersfield with regards to avoiding relegation to League One, with the Terriers travelling to Carrow Road with the worst away record in the division.

That said, Neil Warnock would have been satisfied with the level of performance at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, his team only going down to a first-half penalty.
After two 4-0 defeats in succession, that is the only goal that has been conceded in two games, providing the Yorkshire side with hope ahead of facing opponents who have recently scored for fun on away territory.
Despite the recent heavy defeat to Coventry City, Huddersfield have been reliant on their form at the John Smith's Stadium, collecting 22 points from 18 matches.
Looking at their upcoming schedule, though, Huddersfield face another five promotion contenders in a row, and Warnock must find solutions to their struggles in front of goal after failing to net in four outings.

Warnock will give consideration to selecting the same Huddersfield XI which made an impression at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
Matty Pearson will be assessed after being used three times in succession after injury, while Jordan Rhodes may be recalled given Huddersfield's lack of goals.
After the disappointing showing versus Sunderland, Wagner will almost certainly tinker with his Norwich side for this fixture.
Barring any issues from his first appearance after injury, Josh Sargent may return on the flank, taking the spot of Adam Idah.
Jacob Sorensen is in line to be restored in central midfield, but Arsenal loanee Marquinhos may remain among the replacements.
Huddersfield Town possible starting lineup:
Vaclik; Pearson, Lees, Helik, Ruffels; Rudoni, Hogg; Koroma, Kasumu, Jackson; Waghorn
Norwich City possible starting lineup:
Gunn; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Giannoulis; Nunez, McLean, Soresen; Sargent, Pukki, Hernandez
We say: Huddersfield Town 1-3 Norwich City
Although Huddersfield have improved defensively of late, they need to show as much focus to scoring goals. That will be a difficult balance to find against Norwich, leading us to predict victory for the visitors.
