Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Meanderers clash in cycle 41 of the EFL Titles on Monday (April 10). The Rovers will attempt to improve on their poor record, which has seen them return empty-handed from each of their previous three visits to the John Smith’s Stadium.
Huddersfield moved out of the transfer zone on Friday (April 7) with a completely exhilarating 3-2 win over Watford at Vicarage Street. Since their 1-1 draw with Norwich City on March 15, Neil Warnock’s team has won three straight games, scored eight goals, and given up four.
Huddersfield is 20th in the Championship, level on points with Cardiff City, 19th, and one point above the danger zone with 42 points from 40 games.
After losing 2-0 to Norwich City at Ewood Park on Friday, Blackburn continues to lose ground in their playoff push. The team led by Jon Dahl Tomasson has now lost their last three competitions, including a 3-2 defeat to Sheffield United on March 19 in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Blackburn is sixth in the league with 61 points from 39 games, just one point ahead of seventh-place Norwich outside the playoffs.

Huddersfield vs Blackburn Rovers Head to Head :
Blackburn has won 35 of their last 96 meetings, which gives them a better record in this one. During that time, Huddersfield won 26 games and had 35 games end in a tie. Since a 4-2 defeat in March 2014, the hosts have not lost to Blackburn in six home games, winning three and drawing two.
Tomasson’s men have lost their last three away games across rivalries since a 2-1 win over Leicester City in the FA Cup in February. Since their 1-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion on March 11, the Terriers have not lost in four games, scoring ten of their possible 12 points.
Huddersfield vs Blackburn Rovers Team News :
Warnock will consider the fitness of his players before making a decision, despite the fact that he may prefer to name an unchanged Huddersfield XI.
If Warnock thinks that Huddersfield needs new legs in different areas of the field, Ben Jackson, Brahima Diarra, and Jordan Rhodes will all be in the running.
Even though Kian Harratt scored a crucial goal on Friday after coming off the bench as a substitute, he is unlikely to start.
With Callum Brittain and Tyrhys Dolan in contention for recalls, Tomasson will feel compelled to make adjustments to his Blackburn team.
Scott Wharton could also be a candidate to take Hayden Carter or Dominic Hyam’s place at center back, but Daniel Ayala is still out with an injury and Sorba Thomas can’t play against his parent club.
