Huddersfield Town took another step towards guaranteeing a Play-Off place with the late win over Preston North End at the John Smith's Stadium.

And a Town win away to Derby County on Easter Monday would see David Wagner's side secure a Play-Off place – if other results went their way.

Should Fulham fail to beat Aston Villa at Craven Cottage earlier in the day (kick-off 2.45pm) it would mean Town would go into the live SKY game against the Rams (kick-off 5pm) knowing victory would seal a top six finish.

It would mean Huddersfield Town will have accumulated 80 points while Fulham could only amass 79 points with three games still to play for the Cottagers.

However, if Town WIN and Fulham DRAW then one point would still be needed to guarantee a place.

That's because Fulham could still get a total of 80 points from their remaining fixtures – the same as David Wagner's men but with a far superior goal difference than Town (a difference of 17 goals in the West London side's favour).

However, to gain maximum points the Cottagers would have to beat Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the season (Sunday, May 7).

This means the Owls would have to win the rest of their remaining games (QPR (away), Derby (home) and Ipswich (away)) to stand any chance of overhauling Town as well.

Of course, a defeat at Derby for Town would still mean there is everything to play for ahead of Fulham's visit to West Yorkshire on the Saturday, April 22.

At that point, even if Fulham beat Aston Villa and Town lost at Derby, a win for Town at home to Fulham would be enough to secure their spot.

A draw on the other hand could still mean Town need a maximum of three points from their remaining three games (two points and then another due to the inferior goal difference).

Whatever the permutations, it should be a scintillating atmosphere for all those planning to travel down to Derby County on Monday.
