History of the Huddersfield Town v Barnsley fixture

Huddersfield prepare to entertain Barnsley at Galpharm Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Terriers are clearly on top, having won 18 and lost only 6 of the 31 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Galpharm Stadium was just last season, in September 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.
