The season is still fairly new and the Championship table has to be read with caution. So far Rotherham United find themselves in 14th position and Huddersfield Town are placed 17th.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
