Huddersfield Town are 19th in the EFL Championship table, and they are currently struggling. Carlos Corberan's side have lost three of their last five league games, and they are slipping down the league table rapidly.

Swansea City, on the other hand, have been one of the best teams in the league this season. The Swans are 3rd in the league, five points behind league leaders Norwich City who have played two games more.
