Huddersfield Town form

On Monday, Huddersfield announced that Neil Warnock would be leaving the club after the next game, despite changing his mind previously and deciding to stay after keeping the team in the second tier. The experienced manager will depart the John Smith's Stadium on a positive note, as the team ended their four-game winless streak with back-to-back victories. They defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-1 before the international break and won 2-0 against Rotherham United over the weekend. Huddersfield, who only scored twice in their first 360 minutes of league play this season, seem to have regained their form from the end of the previous season when they narrowly avoided relegation.There will likely be a special atmosphere surrounding Warnock's final match at the club, but the players need to focus on moving further away from the relegation zone.

Huddersfield Town Predicted Lineup

Nicholls; Pearson, Helik, Ruffels; Thomas, Rudoni, Wiles, Diarra, Koroma; Harratt, Burgzorg

Stoke City form

In contrast, Stoke City started the season with high hopes of securing promotion, thanks to significant investment in the summer transfer window. However, they have suffered four defeats in their last five games and find themselves below Huddersfield in the table, with only six points from six matches and in 19th place. Furthermore, Stoke has struggled to score goals in their losses to Millwall, Preston North End, and Norwich City, despite focusing on improving their attacking options during the offseason. Even at this early stage, there is mounting pressure on Stoke's manager, Alex Neil, as his appointment has not yielded the desired results. He desperately needs a win in Wednesday's fixture, as well as in the subsequent matches against Hull City and Bristol City.

Stoke City Predicted Lineup

Travers; Hoever, Rose, Wilmot, Gooch; Pearson, Laurent, Johnson; Campbell, Wesley, Haksabanovic
