Carlos Coberan's side currently find them stuck right in between the play-off places and the relegation zone, and will be mindful that continuing a bad run of form that has seen them lose four matches in a row could see them continue their slide towards the latter.
The last two matches between the Terriers and the Potters have produced a total of 14 goals, with highly entertaining 4-3 and 5-2 matches seeing Stoke claim victory on both occasions.
Meanwhile, the January transfer window is now entering its final few days, and having already signed five players in a highly-productive month, it remains to be seen whether Huddersfield will look to bring in any further recruits to boost them in the second half of the season.
As is always the case at this time of year, the transfer rumour mill continues to churn as agents look to attract attention to their clients, and managers look to off-load unwanted players to free up some precious funds.
Here's our latest round-up featuring news and transfer chat involving Huddersfield Town and a number of their second-tier rivals:
