SkyBet Championship action returns this afternoon as Huddersfield Town travel to South Wales to face Cardiff City.
David Wagner will be hoping to build on the encouraging 1-1 draw at home to Birmingham City ahead of last week's international break.
However, the German Head Coach will be wary of Town's recent fortunes on the road which has seen his side concede eight goals in two away games – 5-0 at Fulham and 3-1 away to Preston North End.
Town will need to be resilient and robust against a Bluebirds side who are managed by former Huddersfield Town manager Neil Warnock.
Aaron Mooy is expected to be included after featuring for Australia against Thailand on Tuesday although Philip Billing is pushing hard for a return to the starting 11.
Kasey Palmer (hip) is a slight doubt while Harry Bunn (hamstring) and Joe Lolley (foot) are definitely absent.
Meanwhile, Cardiff City may see the return of injured duo Jazz Richards and Matt Connolly.

Match Report
Read our on-the-whistle match report as it was a case of the same old set-piece problems for David Wagner’s men.
FT: Cardiff City 3 Huddersfield Town 2
What an end to the game - but Town’s search for an equaliser comes to nothing....the referee blows the whistle for full-time. In essence the scoreline flatters David Wagner’s men who were second best for large periods with a worry inability to defend balls into the box throughout...
Stick with us for all the post-match reaction, news and analysis!
Substitution
88 Minutes: Junior Hoilett is replaced by Kieran Richardson - the Bluebirds are shutting up shop and looking to hold onto this...
Great Play!
83 Minutes: Town are under the cosh but manage to clear the danger - an excellent upfield pass from Billing sees Nahki Wells free, he holds the ball up well but is isolated, eventually reaching the box and holding the play up before trying to find an on-rushing Sean Scannell.....the wide man just can’t connect this his head though. Unlucky!
Town Pressure
David Wagner’s men are looking more threatening now, a succession of corners coming to nothing BUT they still look susceptible at the back....
I’m going to predict more goals and late drama - you heard it here first!!
Fan Reaction
If Town do lose this game, at least that goal is worth watching the highlights for Pete...
Yellow Cards
72 Minutes: Both Bamba and Hefele are booked for an altercation - they’ve been at it all game.
Cardiff City 3 Huddersfield Town 2
70 Minutes: Youngster Billing has only been on the pitch a matter of minutes but he lets a 25 yard volley rip into the top corner. The Town fans are in full voice now - that was sensational and worth the admission alone!
Is there a comeback on the cards??
WHAT A GOAL!!!
PHILIP BILLING WITH A THUNDERBOLT FROM TOWN OUT OF NOWHERE!!!! C’MON TOWN! THE FIGHTBACK IS ON!
Double Substitutions
61 Minutes: Jonathan Hogg and Christopher Schindler are replaced by Philip Billing and Sean Scannell....Interesting changes - thinking attack is the best form of defence perhaps?
Great Save!
57 Minutes: Another Whittingham corner ball and Morrison wins the header with Danny Ward making a fantastic reaction save - but the referee blows for a foul on Hefele anyway.
Think Town got lucky there....
Scrappy
It’s been a scrappy second half so far - Town are kicking left to right towards their own fans. Not that they are seeing much action at that end - Cardiff are camped in the Town half at the moment!
Bookings...
49 Minutes: Bit of confusion here from the media outlets....Aaron Mooy is definitely in the book for dissent but unsure who joins him for a foul - Tommy Smith or Jonathan Hogg.
At this point no-one seems to know!
Same Old, Same Old
47 Minutes: Well it looks like the second period has started very much like the first....Cardiff on top. You know it’s a bad day when big centre back Sol Bamba breezes past two Town players with a lovely piece of skill in the middle of the park.
Team's Out
Both sides are back out for the second 45 minutes and there are no chances at the interval.
A case of letting the starting 11 try to redeem themselves perhaps?
Warnock Rant
And in case you were wondering what it is, here is the video from the manager’s time at Town....
