Huddersfield Town (H) Preview

Huddersfield Town visit Sixfields on Saturday afternoon in good form under new boss Lee Clark.


Team News

The Cobblers will be without Chris Doig through a hamstring injury that has kept him out for over a month whilst Liam Davis will miss the game through suspension. Davis was due to serve the ban at Brighton last week but after the game was postponed he carries it over until this week. Scott McGleish and Andy Todd have returned to their parent clubs after loan spells so Liam Dolman could get a chance in defence.

Huddersfield boss Lee Clark has a near fully fit squad to choose from for the game with Andy Booth the only absentee with a long term back injury.

Form

The Cobblers are yet to play in 2009 after last week's postponement at Brighton but the final game of 2008 saw Bristol Rovers take home a point fro Sixfields in a goalless draw.

Huddersfield kicked off 2009 with a 1-1 draw with Oldham at the Glapharm Stadium. Michael Collins got the Terrier's goal after Mark Allott gave the visitors the lead.
