Huddersfield Town v Bournemouth 5.30pm

Huddersfield's last meeting with one of the Championship's promotion contenders ended in a 7-0 drubbing by Norwich at Carrow Road and the Terriers may find themselves outclassed by in-form Bournemouth.

They responded to the Norwich rout with a 0-0 draw at home to Rotherham on Saturday but the struggling Millers hit the woodwork twice and Huddersfield take a step up in class against the Cherries.

Bournemouth took just 23 seconds to open the scoring in their 4-1 home win over Coventry and that was their fourth straight win in the Championship, all by at least a two-goal margin.

They have been leading at half-time in all four of those wins, over Swansea, Middlesbrough, Blackburn and Cov, and they should be full of confidence for the trip to Yorkshire.

Blackpool v Accrington Stanley 7pm

Blackpool's surge up the League One table was hampered by a frustrating 2-2 draw at Lincoln on Saturday when the Imps scored twice in the last 15 minutes to pinch a draw.

However, the Tangerines stretched their unbeaten run to 14 games and they should take maximum points against an Accrington side who were stuffed 7-0 at Peterborough recently.

Stanley suffered another humbling last time out, losing 5-1 at home to relegation-threatened AFC Wimbledon, and they may struggle to deny Blackpool a fifth win in seven league matches.

Harrogate Town v Leyton Orient 7pm

Harrogate have made a positive impression in their first season in the Football League but a shortage of goals is holding them back and they are worth opposing at home to Leyton Orient.

Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bolton was their sixth loss in eight games and they have scored only once in their last five outings.

Orient also drew a blank at the weekend, losing 1-0 at leaders Cheltenham after conceding a first-half penalty, but they had won four of their previous five away matches, all to nil.
