PREVEW: Sky Blues travel to the John Smith's Stadium

City head to West Yorkshire...

2 March 2023

The Sky Blues head to West Yorkshire for this weekend's Championship clash with Huddersfield Town at the John Smith's Stadium.

Opposition:

Following the dismissal of Mark Fotheringham last month, Huddersfield appointed former manager, Neil Warnock on an interim basis as his replacement.

Warnock got off to a winning start, beating Birmingham City 2-1 at the John Smith's Stadium.

The experienced manager has been tasked with steering the Terriers away from the bottom three places in the Championship.

Last time out, Huddersfield were undone by the league leaders, Burnley at Turf Moor, a result which keeps them 22nd in the league heading into the weekend's clash.

Huddersfield Town 2-1 Birmingham City (W)

Officials:

David Webb will be the man in the middle for Saturday's fixture.

Webb last took charge of the Sky Blues during their 1-0 defeat against Burnley, back in January.
 
In 29 fixtures across the EFL this season, the Lancashire referee has dished out 89 yellow cards and five reds, including four during Sheffield Wednesday's clash with Blackpool.

Last season, Webb oversaw three consecutive wins for the Sky Blues, against Reading (home and away) and Hull City.

Jonathan Hunt and Andrew Dallison will be his assistant referees with Neil Hair as fourth official.
