Huddersfield v Millwall

Last updated : 14 May 2010 By BBC Sport

Fellow striker Shaun Batt is also struggling (hamstring) but Neil Harris, Gary Alexander and Jon Obika are on hand to deputise.

Huddersfield manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds:"Our strengths are that we create lots of opportunities, we've scored 100 goals in all competitions and we try to put the opposition under pressure.

"We know it's not going to be easy - they (Millwall) have been built up over a period of time under Kenny (Jackett), who's built a very strong, athletic, physical team.

"They were very, very close to getting one of those automatic promotion places, so we know it's not going to easy, but I think the respect is passed over to each other."

Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes told BBC Radio Leeds:"If someone had said to me at the start of the season that I'd have played as many as games as I have and scored 23 goals, I would have settled for half of that.

"For it all to happen is a bit of a fairytale and a dream, and I love coming into work and walking out on that pitch on Saturdays and Tuesday nights.

"There's plenty of hard work to be done and Millwall are a terrific side - they're very well organised and well drilled, so let the best team win really."
