Town's Caretaker boss Gerry Murphy has kept faith in the eleven players that performed so well against Doncaster Rovers last weekend for this afternoon's game at Port Vale, kick-off 3pm.

This means that the Terriers will stick with their 3-5-2 formation today, with a Town win meaning possible relegation for the Valiants depending on the results of Crewe Alexandra and Gillingham.

Goalkeeper Matt Glennon will play behind three centre-backs; Nathan Clarke, skipper Robert Page and David Mirfin, who makes his 175th career appearance today. Robbie Williams makes his 25th start for Town today at left wing-back, with Andy Holdsworth on the opposite flank, leaving James Berrett to sit just behind Jon Worthington and Michael Collins in central midfield. Up front, last weekend's Man of the Match Chris Brandon will play just off striker Andy Booth - who makes his 325th start in the League for the Terriers and the 525th start of his career this afternoon.
