Sheffield United will host Huddersfield Town at Bramall Lane on Saturday (December 10) in the Championship.
The hosts picked up form just before the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup international break after a horrid run of results in October and are now back on course in their race for promotion.
Sheffield beat Cardiff City in their last game, with George Baldock scoring the sole goal of the game via a drilled finish just after the hour mark. Sheffield have picked up 38 points from 21 games and are second in the league table.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, have had a difficult campaign and find themselves deep in the drop zone. They drew goalless against Swansea City in their last game before the World Cup break. Huddersfield were fortunate to have come away with a point after being second-best for large swathes.
The visitors are languishing at rock-bottom in the standings with just 19 points from 21 games.
