After defeat at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend, Huddersfield Town will look to get back to winning ways against Ipswich Town this afternoon.
David Wagner 's side will be hoping to claim their first double result of the season having won 1-0 against the Tractor Boys back in October .
However, if Town are to pull of the feat they may have to do it without talismanic midfielder Aaron Mooy , doubtful with a back injury, and Jack Payne who starts a three-match ban after his sending off at Hillsborough.
Town also welcome new signing Collin Quaner into the side after completing his move from Bundesliga II side Union Berlin on a three-and-a-half year deal yesterday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Ipswich, who were knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league Lincoln City on Tuesday evening, will be without defender Adam Webster (ankle) for the rest of the season.
New signings Kieffer Moore and Jordan Spence could both feature after being ineligible for the third-round replay.
