Sports Mole assesses tomorrow night's Yorkshire derby between Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town.

Huddersfield Town will take part in their first Yorkshire derby of the season when they travel to Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow night.

Wednesday were well beaten against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon and Huddersfield manager Simon Grayson is wary of a reaction from the Owls.

"Hillsborough is a fantastic arena to play football and it is a local derby - so it has all the ingredients to be a brilliant game of football," Grayson told the club's official website. "Hopefully we can replicate a similar standard of performance from the weekend and gain a positive result.

"They will be hugely disappointed losing the way they did against Brighton – they haven't been used to losing games under Dave Jones. He has put together a strong competitive team that has pace in the wide areas."

With Sean Scannell still injured, Danny Ward is expected to continue on the wing for the Terriers.

Hosting Wednesday will reportedly begin the encounter with Jay Bothroyd up front alongside Barcelona loanee Rodri.
