David Wagner will be looking for a positive response from his Huddersfield Town side this weekend as they face Birmingham City at the John Smith's Stadium.

Last weekend was one to forget for everyone connected with Town as they were thrashed 5-0 at Craven Cottage by Fulham FC.

Despite the heavy loss, the Terriers remain third in the SkyBet Championship , four points and places ahead of the Blues coming into the game.

Town should be buoyed by another bumper following but look set to be without Harry Bunn through injury while Kasey Palmer is also a doubt.

Meanwhile, Birmingham City will be without Maikel Kieftenbeld through suspension but should have full-back Jonathan Grounds available after serving his own suspension.

However, Rhoys Wiggins, on-loan from AFC Bournemouth, has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury last weekend against Aston Villa.

Ahead of the clash, the Examiner looks at a few of the other interesting club connections between the two clubs through the years, with the top 4 club links outlined below.
