Tomorrow, Huddersfield are set to square off against Blackburn as part of the Christmas tour of the Championship.
Huddersfield Town succumbed to Norwich in their last encounter on 23rd December by a sobering 0:2. At present, Huddersfield find themselves languishing in 21st place in the Championship standings. The squad has stretched their legs in 23 matches so far this season, closing in victorious four times, conceding defeat nine times, and sharing honours in 10 matches.
With 21 goals to their credit and a concerning 38 leaked at their end, they've amassed a modest 22 points. In contrast, Norwich City hold 8th place in the Championship tally, boasting 34 points after 23 hard-fought matches. Huddersfield grapple with a string of absentees tomorrow, inclusive of Jackson, Jones, J. Raffels, Terton, Nichols, and Pearson.
Blackburn Rovers were bested by Watford in their recent fixture, witnessing a final tally of 1:2. The team is currently situated in the 14th spot of the Championship. Blackburn have seen action in 23 matches, emerging triumphant in 10, falling in 12, and holding a stalemate in one. With a goal difference tally of 35:40, they have bagged 31 points. Their recent form includes one victory and four defeats in the last five matches.
Watford currently perch on the 7th spot on the Championship leaderboard. Over the season, they ran the course for 23 matches, winning 9 and losing 7, collecting 34 points in their strides. Blackburn, much like their opponents, deal with significant injury concerns - Dolan, Gallagher, Hedges, Piers, Rankin-Costello.
Considering Rovers' invigorated display throughout the season, they have a solid chance of stealing a win against a team teetering near the bottom of the Championship ladder. Huddersfield, having netted a mere two-thirds of Blackburn's tally and enduring four defeats in the last five encounters, will definitely need to dig deep.
