Match preview

Nottingham Forest have turned their season around since the appointment of Steve Cooper in September, losing just two of his 16 games in charge.

The second defeat came last time out against a similarly-rejuvenated Middlesbrough outfit and Forest can get immediate compensation against Huddersfield.

The Terriers have exceeded expectations after narrowly staying up last season and have secured back-to-back 3-2 wins in the league against Bristol City and Blackpool respectively, coming from behind on both occasions.

Those sides both look set to fight it out in the wrong half of the table for the remainder of the campaign, however, and Forest look a cut above the pair.

Carlos Corberan’s side have also struggled away from home this season, taking just 13 points from a possible 36 on the road.

Just two points separate these two teams in a typically congested Championship playoff race but it is the home side that can leapfrog their opponents with a win.

Key stat

Huddersfield have taken 13 points from a possible 36 away from home
