Match previews

Huddersfield v Barnsley

Huddersfield were held to a goalless draw at home to Middlesbrough in midweek but they can regain the winning thread against travel-sick visitors Barnsley.

Karlan Grant was reportedly unwell for that drab draw, so three days to recover should bring an improved performance from the Terriers' star striker.

Number one shot-stopper Kamil Grabara returns, with midfield maestro Alex Pritchard on the bench and back in contention.

Danny Cowley's men are fancied to extend their unbeaten run to six with victory over Barnsley, who have collected just two points from their six away trips.

Birmingham v Luton

Birmingham have won 13 of their 19 points at St Andrew's and should taste more home success against Luton in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Blues, who beat Blackburn 1-0 at home in midweek, welcome Croatian midfielder Ivan Sunjic back to their starting 11 following suspension and that should provide their defence with extra stability.

Luton's leading scorer James Collins could only make the bench.
