Huddersfield prepare to entertain Colchester United at Galpharm Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Terriers have drawn 5 of the 9 contests however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Galpharm Stadium was just last season, in March 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.
