Huddersfield face a trip to Colchester United at Layer Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 8 games played, Terriers have recorded 2 wins, and Colchester U. have come away with 4 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
