The SkyBet Championship is down to the last handful of games with the nerves beginning to jangle as sides fight at both ends of the table.

Luckily for Huddersfield Town fans for the first time the side are looking up as opposed to worrying about relegation with David Wagner's men currently lying third in the league.

Although an automatic promotion place may be beyond the side, Town currently find themselves seven points ahead of seventh place Fulham with a game in hand.

A maximum of three wins (nine points) would see the team over the line in booking a Play-Off place at the end of the season.

But how do the side normally fare in their last six league games? Steven Downes looks at how Town have handled their previous run-ins below...

Currently on 74 points this season, Town could finish on 92 points should they win all of their remaining games.

However, over the past four seasons the side have picked up an average of eight points which could be enough to guarantee a play-off place if other results go their way.

Town have also scored nine goals on average in the last four seasons, and conceded the equivalent number at the other end.
