Huddersfield v Blackburn

Blackburn are 11th in the Championship despite scoring 35 goals in 21 league games, but they have scope to improve and should have too much quality for Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadium.

Tony Mowbray's Rovers play some excellent football and are the division's joint-top scorers alongside Bournemouth.

They have been on a difficult run, winning just one of their last six games, and were left frustrated on Saturday when they drew 1-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday despite having 72 per cent of possession and winning the shot count 16-7.

However, there was a huge positive to come out of the game with attacking midfielder Bradley Dack appearing as a second-half substitute.

Dack has netted 42 goals in 107 league appearances for the club and his return from a year-long layoff could be a huge boost as Blackburn seek to have a stronger second half of the season.

In the short term, Dack's involvement could ease the pressure on their 15-goal top scorer Adam Armstrong, who has netted just once in his last six appearances.

Blackburn have some outstanding attacking players and should have few problems exposing Huddersfield, who have conceded 29 league goals - only Preston and Wycombe have let in more in the division.

The Terriers slipped into the bottom half with a 2-1 loss to Barnsley on Saturday and may struggle to avoid back-to-back defeats.

Plymouth v Oxford

Plymouth are among the small band of clubs still allowed to have fans in their stadium and their vocal supporters could be celebrating a seventh home league win of the season after watching them take on Oxford at Home Park.

Ryan Lowe's side lost their opening four matches in December but responded with a 1-0 win at home to MK Dons and a 2-2 draw at Charlton.

Both of those performances were encouraging and Plymouth's unbeaten run can extend to three at the expense of 16th-placed Oxford, who are weakened by the absence of suspended midfielder Alex Gorrin.

Forest Green v Crawley

Forest Green manager Mark Cooper admitted that his team were below their best when drawing 1-1 at Exeter on Saturday but the Gloucestershire highflyers are unbeaten in nine games and can maintain their League Two promotion push with a home win over Crawley.

Cooper's charges are just one point behind leaders Newport and have posted victories over promotion-chasing Cambridge (2-0) and Carlisle (1-0) in their last two home games.

They should be too strong for mid-table Crawley, who are sweating on the fitness of 13-goal top scorer Max Watters (hamstring).
