Wycombe preview: Looking to claim the top spot in the standings

With 51 points from 24 matches, Wycombe are currently second in the League One table, only behind Birmingham who are two points ahead, but they also have a game in hand. Still, a win over Huddersfield would put Wycombe at the top of the standings, at least for a while, so their fans will be hoping for the team's eighth home win in the league this season in 12 games.

Meanwhile, Sam Vokes and Kieran Sadlier remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Alex Hartridge is suspended for this match.

Predicted lineup: Ravizzoli (GK), Grimmer, Low, Tafazolli, Harvie, Scowen, Leahy, Humphreys, Onyedinma, Kone & Lubala

Huddersfield preview: Hoping to extend their undefeated streak

It's been a rollercoaster ride for Huddersfield fans this season after their team started with three wins in a row, then went on a poor run that culminated with four losses in a row at the start of October. Since then, Huddersfield haven't lost a single match in League One and their undefeated streak has now reached 14 games.

Despite this amazing streak, Huddersfield are only fourth in the standings and sit seven points behind Wycombe, their next opponent, who currently occupy second place, which is the last spot that guarantees promotion. That being said, Huddersfield also have a game in hand, so if they can beat Wycombe in their upcoming duel, they will certainly get fully involved in the race for direct promotion to the Championship.

When it comes to team news, Anthony Evans, Rhys Healey, Mikel Miller, Jonathan Hogg are out with injuries, while Nigel Lonwijk, David Kasumu, Lee Nicholls, Lasse Sorensen, and Daniel Ward are all doubtful.

Predicted lineup: Chapman (GK), Lees, Helik, Turton, Spencer, Wiles, Hodge, Kane, Koroma, Marshall & Radulovic

Player to watch: Richard Kone

With 13 goals in League One this season, the young forward from Ivory Coast is only behind Louie Barry in the race for the league's top scorer. Kone has certainly impressed so far and if Wycombe are to stop the in-form Huddersfield team on Tuesday, he will have to once again contribute on the offensive end.
