    Huddersfield v Cardiff (19:45 GMT)

    Evening all,

    It is fair to say there will be plenty of eyes on tonight's game and they will extend beyond Huddersfield and Cardiff.

    The hosts are eight points clear of the bottom three, but all the sides in the drop zone have games in hand on Huddersfield and you can be sure there will be Coventry and Birmingham fans cheering on Cardiff this evening too.

    At the other end of the table, Cardiff have risen to sixth and every side with play-off aspirations will be hoping the hosts can end the Bluebirds' 10-game unbeaten run.

    It's also a really significant night for Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy.

    But first let's have a look at those teams, shall we? That seems the customary thing to do.
