Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between promotion-chasing Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town.

Crystal Palace are the clear favourites to come out on top when they entertain Huddersfield Town in the Championship this weekend.

Ian Holloway's high-filers have lost just once in their last six games and could move to the top of the table with a win on Saturday, provided that Cardiff City slip up.

Palace welcome back influential midfielder Mile Jedinak following a suspension, with Andre Moritz likely to make way for his return.

Long-term absentee Paddy McCarthy remains sidelined with a groin injury, while Darcy Blake is doubtful after suffering a bout of illness.

Huddersfield, who could move into the top half of the table with a win, are almost back to full strength, with Jermaine Beckford and Sean Scannell both back in training.

Manager Simon Grayson welcomes back Paul Dixon after a suspension, but Alan Lee begins a three match ban.

Oscar Gobern, who is still recovering from ankle surgery, is Town's only certain absentee.
