Huddersfield Town entertain Bristol City at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday looking to claim a tenth win of the season.

Despite slipping out of the Play-Off places after not winning in their last five outings, there was an encouraging performance in the 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers last weekend.

With almost 70% possession and 29 shots on goal, David Wagner's men dominated the encounter but were unable to get a second goal to seal a victory that would have been warranted.

In comparison, Bristol City travel to West Yorkshire three places and three points behind Town and also emerging from their own sticky patch - the Robins beating Ipswich Town 2-0 at Ashton Gate last time out to end a run of three successive defeats and five in seven.
