Huddersfield face a trip to Port Vale at Vale Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Terriers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 5 of the 21 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2006, with Huddersfield inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Valiants in a League One match.
