Huddersfield Town take on West Bromwich Albion this weekend in a match which could have serious consequences come the end of the season.
The Baggies are rooted to the foot of the Premier League table with Alan Pardew clinging on to his job following last week's incidents.
Seven days ago Gareth Barry, Jake Livermore, Boaz Myhill and club captain Jonny Evans allegedly stole a taxi in Barcelona, leading to questions over Pardew's players' discipline and their determination to pull off another great escape.
On the other side, David Wagner and his men have put in three strong performances in their last three outings, claiming two wins and losing just once - to Manchester United.
The Terriers will be hoping to continue in that rich vein of form and stretch the gap between them and the Baggies to 10 points.
They will have to do so without influential midfielder Aaron mooy however, with the Australian sidelined with a deep gash on his knee sustained in the United match.
Here we will bring you all the pre-match news and extensive match comment and analysis from the vital Premier League match at The Hawthorns.

HT: West Bromwich Albion 0 Huddersfield Town 0
Well that won’t live long in the memory but it will be Town who will be happier at the break here - it’s been a cagey opening 45 minutes.
Alex Pritchard having Town’s best chance; meeting a cut back only for his effort to be blocked by Steve Mounie.
Meanwhile, at the other end, McClean blazed over from six yards out meeting a Phillips cross at the end of the half.

Offside
39 Minutes: McClean tries his luck from 20 yards; his shot hits team-mate Rondon before falling into the hands of Lossl - the flag goes up for offside though.
Chance!
36 Minutes: And what a good one it was! Pritchard’s shot is blocked on the line by Steve Mounie before Baggies stopper Ben Foster denies van La Parra from the rebound. The ball then bounces around the area before Jonny Evans puts it behind for a corner. So Close!
