HUDDERSFIELD TOWN head coach Andre Breitenreiter has disclosed one key personnel move for the Terriers’ season finale against promotion-chasing Ipswich Town, which also has consequences for Leeds United. Ipswich need a point in their big match against Huddersfield, whose relegation will be formally confirmed after the game at Portman Road, to ensure promotion to the Premier League. To stay in the second division, second-from-bottom Town must win and overcome a 15-goal goal difference with Plymouth Argyle, while also hoping Birmingham, like Argyle, fail to win – with Breitenreiter’s team all but out in reality. The hosts will be huge favourites…

Both teams will approach the play-offs in low form, but…
