The Terriers head to St Andrews for their next league game as Carlos Corberan’s side look to return to victory against the defensively strong Blues
Huddersfield Town will aim to bounce back from their 2-1 loss on Saturday afternoon to Preston North End as they face Birmingham City at St Andrews
Carlos Corberan saw his team’s undefeated four-game streak come to an end in this loss at John Smith’s Stadium and will seek an answer on a pitch where Town won 3-0 just under four months ago
Fraizer Campbell was among the scorers on the occasion, just as he had been in the reverse game earlier in the season, bringing his career tally against Birmingham to seven goals in seven starts
The forward was back on the scoresheet early on against Preston and looks likely to lead the line again for his home club with Danny Ward still injured
Corberan has no other injury problem but will be without Naby Sarr in suspension tonight after his red card from the weekend
Birmingham’s recent record suggests they likely won’t be as lenient in goal as they were in July: They have conceded just four goals in seven games so far, the best record in outside the top three in the division
However, they have only won one game since February and Aitor Karanka will be desperate to start to see that solidity start to turn into valuable valuable points.
