Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship encounter between Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City.

Huddersfield Town will have to beat Cardiff City if they want to pull further clear of the Championship relegation zone.

Malky Mackay's men are 10 points clear at the top of the league and have been in fantastic form of late, losing just one of their last 14 games.

The Terriers are still without a permanent manager following Simon Grayson's sacking, but they will have to act swiftly as they linger five points above the drop zone.

Mark Lillis is in temporary control at the John Smith's Stadium, and he has a full squad to choose from.

Jack Hunt, Callum Woods, Peter Whittingham, Heidar Helguson and Ben Turner are all one yellow card away from suspension.

Recent form

Huddersfield: DLDLWL

Cardiff: WWWDWW

Possible lineups

Huddersfield: Smithies, Woods, Gerrard, P Clarke, Hunt, Norwood, Arfield, Danns, Clayton, Novak, Vaughan

Cardiff: Marshall; Taylor, Hudson, Turner, Connolly, Gunnarsson, Whittingham, Kim, Conway, Smith, Bellamy

Sports Mole says: 0-3
