Sports Mole previews the Championship relegation scrap between Huddersfield Town and Peterborough United.

Huddersfield Town play host to Peterborough United in the Championship this weekend in what promises to be a fierce relegation scrap.

The two teams go into the match in 22nd and 23rd place respectively, with just one point separating them ahead of kickoff.

A win for either could move them out of the drop zone, potentially as high as 18th place depending on how other fixtures play out.

Peterborough are one of the division's form sides, with no defeats in their last last seven games, a run which has given them every chance of avoiding relegation.

Tottenham Hotspur loanee Alex Pritchard might feature for the visitors after recovering from injury, while Michael Bostwick could be fit enough to make the bench.

Huddersfield, who go into the game off the back of two defeats, are likely to be without the services of full-back Jack Hunt, who picked up an injury mid-week.

Recent form

Huddersfield: LWLWLL

Peterborough: DDDWWD

Possible starting lineups

Huddersfield: Smithies, Dixon, Norwood, Clarke, Gerrard, Scannell, Gobern, Ward, Danns, Lynch, Vaughan

Peterborough: Olejnik, Alcock, Zakuani, Little, Rowe, Newell, Ferdinand, Knight-Percival, Payne, Tomlin, Gayle

Sports Mole says: 1-2
