Huddersfield Town Face Sheffield Wednesday in League One Derby

Huddersfield Town host Sheffield Wednesday in a League One Yorkshire derby on Saturday 10th October, with the teams placed third and fifth before the match. According to BBC.co.uk, Huddersfield have 15 points and Wednesday have 14 as both chase promotion positions.

The match features two sides competing near the top of the League One table, where positions three through six qualify for the promotion play-offs according to BBC.co.uk. The top two places earn direct promotion.

According to We Are Terriers, Sheffield Wednesday have made a strong return to League One under new ownership after last season’s difficulties. The club collected 14 points from their first seven league matches.

We Are Terriers reported that Wednesday won all three of their away league games so far, with each victory ending 2-1 against Leyton Orient, Wycombe and Peterborough.

The same source reported Wednesday’s last two league matches before the international break finished 0-0 at home against Wigan and Stockport. The team later recorded back-to-back wins in the EFL Trophy.

Huddersfield manager Martin Drury selected a 3-4-2-1 formation for the fixture, with Matty Young in goal and Murray Wallace, Ibane Bowat and Radinio Balker forming the defensive line according to BBC.co.uk.

BBC.co.uk listed Huddersfield’s midfield as Ilias Bronkhorst, Cameron Humphreys, Archie Collins and Bali Mumba, while Derensili Sanches Fernandes, Joe Taylor and Bojan Radulovic completed the attacking options.

According to We Are Terriers, Huddersfield had no new injuries from their previous two matches. David Kasumu and Ryan Ledson were expected to return to full training the following weekend but were unavailable for the game.

The club also ruled out Marcus McGuane for most or all of the season because of a ruptured ACL, while Jack Whatmough could face an extended absence with a calf injury, according to We Are Terriers.
