Huddersfield Town travel to the Macron Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers in one of the most iconic days in the football calendar – the FA Cup Third Round.
After a hectic festive schedule saw four games in 10 days over the Christmas and New Year period, the SkyBet Championship strugglers will offer boss David Wagner an entirely different proposition this afternoon.
With Premier League survival the main objective this season, the German head coach is expected to make a number of changes to the side that ran out in the New Year's Day clash at Leicester City.
Joel Coleman will start in goal, Terence Kongolo could make his debut while Philip Billing and Michael Hefele could both return from long-term injury lay-offs.
Meanwhile, the Trotters are without three key midfielders - Darren Pratley (broken leg) and Karl Henry (hamstring) are out while Josh Vela is ill.
Bringing you all the coverage from the FA Cup clash at the Macron Stadium is Blake Welton with expert analysis from Rory Benson.

HT: Bolton Wanderers 0 Huddersfield Town 0
There really is nothing that can be said about that half other than thank goodness it is over...
The second period can only be better - both sides lacking in any intensity or impetus here.
Added Time...
The fourth official has indicated there will be an additional one minute added at the end of this half.
What A Miss!
41 Minutes: A Filipe Morais cross finds an unmarked Aaron Wilbraham in the box but his header is well wide from 10 yards out. Sums up the game so far!
Yellow Card!
40 Minutes: Bolton try to launch a quick break with Le Fondre but is brought down needlessly by Michael Hefele. Silly booking.
Substitution
38 Minutes: Collin Quaner has picked up a knock and is forced off to be replaced by Rajiv van La Parra.
High And Wide...
37 Minutes: Jonathan Hogg blazes over the bar from 20 yards out after a neat cut back from Depoitre.
Half An Hour Mark...
And not even an attempt on goal for either side here - David Wagner’s men are seeing a lot of the ball but doing very little with it at the moment. All very flat.
Nice Passing...
But no real penetration and intensity so far here with neither keeper really being tested....
Town have a corner now with the away fans singing for Laurent Depoitre but it’s easily cleared by the hosts.
Terence Tune...
Twenty minutes in, nothing has happened so some Town fans are trying to invent a Terrace Chant for the new signing. As you do.
