Struggling Huddersfield Town will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Nottingham Forest in the upcoming league round. It’s 19th vs 8th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
