Huddersfield Town v Derby County live stream, Wednesday 2 February, 7.45pm GMT
Derby County will move to within four points of safety if they beat Huddersfield on Wednesday night.
Wayne Rooney's side salvaged a point in dramatic circumstances last time out. Birmingham City were on their way to victory in front of a full house at Pride Park on Sunday, with Derby trailing 2-0 in the closing stages of the match. Yet Luke Plange gave the home team hope in the 87th minute, before Krystian Bielik's overhead kick made it 2-2 in the sixth minute of stoppage time to send the Derby fans into raptures.
On the one hand, a failure to beat Birmingham was a blow to Derby's survival ambitions. But the manner of the fightback will give Rooney's players renewed confidence ahead of their trip to Huddersfield in midweek.
Despite various off-field problems and a 21-point deduction, Derby are not dead and buried just yet. They need to start turning draws into wins, though, and they might not be able to rely on Peterborough United and Reading remaining in dismal form until the end of the campaign.
Huddersfield extended their unbeaten run to nine consecutive games at the weekend, but a 1-1 draw with Stoke City saw them drop out of the play-off places due to Middlesbrough's triumph over Coventry City.
Huddersfield are only outside the top six on goal difference, though, and a win on Thursday would see them climb above both Boro and West Brom. The Terries are hard to beat on home turf: they have only lost one Championship match at the John Smith's Stadium since the middle of September.
Huddersfield will have to make do without Levi Colwill, Alex Vallejo and Rolando Aarons as they seek to make it 10 games without defeat.
Derby will be unable to call upon the services of Kamil Jozwiak, Ravel Morrison and Bielik, who injured his shoulder after scoring that last-gasp equaliser against Birmingham.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
