Sunderland have a swift chance to bounce back from their 2-0 loss at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday as they take on Championship strugglers Huddersfield Town on Wednesday evening. The Black Cats conceded from the hosts' only two shots on target as they came away with nothing despite 67 per cent possession and 24 shots, five of which were on target.

Huddersfield earned a point in a 1-1 home draw with Southampton on their return to action following the international break, as Ben Jackson scored late on when his cross evaded everyone and dropped into the far corner. The Terriers had just 22 per cent possession in the game and will feel buoyed by the result, which relieved some pressure on manager Darren Moore.
