Terriers Vs Owls

Huddersfield Town face local promotion rivals Sheffield Wednesday infront of the Sky Tv cameras on Monday lunch time, hoping to complete the double over the Owls

This will be Town's first game at home of 2011 and comes off the back of a disapointing 2-2 draw at Carlisle, where defensive lapses cost the side all 3 points.

We've got a fantastic game in prospect - a local derby against one of the big clubs in the division. There will be an expectant crowd and a great atmosphere and it's a game we're looking forward to,

'There is a lot on the game; two big, well supported, Yorkshire clubs with good players and who expect to be in amongst it come the end of the season. For the first home game of 2011, it's a cracker!

'The crowd will be right behind us and that will help the players after the setbacks we've had over the Christmas period. Right throughout my time here the crowd has been right behind the players driving them on. Hopefully it will push us to victory.

Jamie McCombe, Joe Garner and Lee Croft are all struggling with a virus and could miss out.

Antony Kay returns from suspension

Gary Roberts, Anthony Pilkington, Jordan Rhodes and Graham Carey will all be hoping to feature from the start after sitting on the bench at Carlisle.

Fellow Bench mate Scott Arfield will also hope his goal on Saturday will earn him a recall to the starting 11

Following an impressive debut away at Carlisle, he will want to show the home fans what he is capable of.

Lewis Buxton and Giles Coke are missing for The Owls.

Neil Mellor is pressing for a recall to the starting line up

If he starts, as expected, the strong powerful forward will keep the Town defence busy for the afternoon
