Overview
- Huddersfield host Reading at Accu Stadium on Friday in a match shown live on Sky Sports+, with streaming via Sky Go and NOW.
- The Terriers are now led by interim coaches Martin Drury and Jon Stead after manager Liam Manning took compassionate leave for the rest of the season.
- Reading hold sixth place and Huddersfield sit 10th, with a four-point gap that makes a home win a direct play-off boost for the hosts.
- Reading arrive after Tuesday’s 3-0 win over Wigan, but top scorer Jack Marriott is still out as Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan continues a three-in-three scoring run.
- Huddersfield’s strong home form, with only two league losses in 19, contrasts with their poor away record and heightens the stakes of this home fixture.
