Huddersfield prepare to entertain Gillingham at Galpharm Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Terriers are clearly on top, having won 5 and lost only 2 of the 9 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Galpharm Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2007, with Huddersfield running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a League One match.
