Huddersfield Town will look to build on their second win of the league season on Wednesday when they head to third-placed Wolves.

The Terriers secured their first three points under new manager Chris Powell with a 2-1 victory over Millwall at the weekend thanks to two-goal Nahki Wells as Town also put a halt to their run of 12 games in all competitions without a home win.

The midweek trip to Molineux represents the first time these two sides have met since a 3-1 success for the Terriers at the home of Kenny Jackett's side in 2012/2013, when Sean Scannell and Jermaine Beckford (2) struck

Wolves could have gone joint top of the Championship alongside Norwich City on Sunday but surrendered their 3-2 advantage in the final moments to draw 3-3 in a pulsating encounter at Reading.

It still leaves Jackett's men third in the league standings however, with the Black Country outfit still boasting the joint-best defensive record in the division despite their collapse at the Madejski Stadium.

And here is everything you need to know about the game as Town look to recover from their late setback and move up the Championship table.

Kick-off                  

Wolves v Huddersfield Town (7.45pm)

The likely line-ups

Wolves (4-2-3-1): Ikeme; Doherty, Batth (capt), Stearman, Golbourne; Saville, McDonald; Van La Parra, Henry, Sako; Sagbo.

Huddersfield Town (4-4-2): Smithies; Smith, Hudson, Lynch (capt), Robinson; Scannell, Butterfield, Coady, Bunn; Wells, Holt.

Team news

Wolves: Kenny Jackett could hand an immediate first-team debut to new signing Yannick Sagbo after his loan arrival from Hull City.

Nouha Dicko is out with a hamstring problem and Sagbo can be expected to fill the void, and Jackett could be also able to field Matt Doherty at right-back despite the 22-year-old's heavy fall during the weekend draw with Reading.

Huddersfield Town: Powell could be set to unleash Grant Holt for his full Huddersfield Town debut after a lively cameo against Millwall at the weekend and he can expect to partner Nahki Wells in attack.

The Terriers do have injury worries to contend with for Wednesday's game, however, with weekend knocks to captain Lee Peltier and midifielder Jonathan Hogg potentially adding to an injury list which already features Oscar Gobern (toe) and James Vaughan (calf).

Ones to watch

Wolves: Kevin McDonald - The undisputed star of his side's romp to promotion from League One last year, the Scot has remained at the heartbeat of the Wolves side so far this season.

He combines midfield craft and steel and his breaks from deep will have to be tracked by one of Town's central midfielders, be that as part of a duo or a trio, as he is capable of finding the net or delivering a telling pass.

Huddersfield Town: Harry Bunn - It seems almost too simplistic to nominate someone who was so dangerous and exciting at the weekend but Bunn's ever-increasing maturity is leading to better decision making, reliable end delivery and a work-rate which is unparalelled in this Town squad.

The hope is that he does not suffer the sort of slump he did after his wonderful display at Reading earlier this season, but he has the tools to harm Wolves' defence.

What the bookies say

The hosts are considered clear favourites to take the spoils in this encounter at 7/10 but Town's recent record against them should be enough encouragement to explore 4/1 odds of the Terriers securing all three points.

The draw can be backed at 11/4, while a repeat of the 3-1 scoreline that Town won by the last time they visited Molineux is a tasty 40/1 long shot.

Dicko is favourite to score at 4/1 and Leon Clarke is at fives, but both are unlikely to play so the next best option is Bakary Sako at 11/2, with Wells proving to be Town's best bet at 7/1.

Last time they met

Jermaine Beckford scored twice for Town as they romped to a convincing 3-1 win at Molineux during Wolves' relegation season from the second flight.

Stephen Ward actually put the hosts into the ascendancy by converting Kevin Doyle's cross before Sean Scannell levelled after weaving his way through the Wolves defence and firing home into the bottom corner.

A second-half Beckford brace then did the damage for Wolves as he first prodded home following a Dorus de Vries save from a James Vaughan header before lobbing the goalkeeper straight from the hosts kick-off, with Jamie O'Hara then sent off late on to rub salt into the wounds.

What the managers say 

Kenny Jackett: "There was a lot of disappointment in the dressing room at the end of the Reading game. Football is a very emotive game.

"When you are playing a game like that it is very easy to be critical but you need an honest assessment of where your side is and what it needs to improve on without losing the heart and the spirit that we showed in the second period.

"Now we have games on Wednesday and Saturday - great games to look forward to. Two home games back at Molineux (Huddersfield and Wigan). As a group we must rest well and make sure we are ready."

Chris Powell: "They have good players, and they have momentum, which is a big thing. You sense they are on their way back after a tough time.

"But we have for that first win since I came here, something we all needed, and we all want to make sure it's the first of many."

Man in the middle

Phil Gibbs (West Midlands). Town's latest referee has only taken charge of two games so far this season - and both at a lower level - but knows this league well.

The last time he took charge of a game involving the Terriers was nearly two years ago to the day on 2 October 2012 as Town went down 2-0 at home to Leicester City.

He has actually only been the referee for Town on teo other occasions, with the Terriers failing to enjoy much success when he has been in charge.

His other two games officiated involve a 4-1 FA Cup thumping at Swindon Town and a 2-1 win over the same opposition at home in January 2009,

Tom says

"This midweek encounter represents a stern test of Powell and his side's ability to keep both feet grounded after the morale-boosting victory over Millwall.

"It also brings about an entirely different proposition from the weekend in that Jackett's side are, with the exception of the 3-3 draw with Reading, notoriously difficult to break down.

"The hosts' league position rightly makes them favourites heading into the game and they could go top of the league with victory, but with debutant Sagbo perhaps needing to feel his way in, Town must capitalise on any attacking shortcomings from Wolves.

"And they have hardly been free-scoring this season, meaning it is imperative Town are at their best defensively in the hope of nicking a one-goal victory.

"Holt's impact after coming off the bench against Millwall was tangible and Powell will hope for more of the same at Molineux.

"If he does recreate such an exciting and busy cameo, then the home side's back four could be in for a difficult evening. I fancy Town to snatch a point here and continued their upward curve under the new manager. 0-0."
