Huddersfield Town go to the bet365 Stadium in search of a first win of the season with Stoke City the opponents for a midweek Sky Bet Championship encounter on Tuesday 1 October 2019; 8pm kick-off.
The Terriers go into the Tuesday night clash off the back of a draw against Millwall – the first point of the Cowleys era.
THE OPPOSITION
Like Town, the Potters are yet to register their first Sky Bet Championship win of the season as they remain in the relegation zone after the first nine games of the campaign.
Manager Nathan Jones has seen his side pick up just two points from the first two months of the season. The campaign got underway with back-to-back defeats against Queens Park Rangers and Charlton Athletic.
A first point of the season followed after a 2-2 draw with Derby County before four straight defeats left them occupying a spot in the relegation zone in the opening exchanges of the campaign.
A goal-less draw at Brentford followed before a home 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The Club has some success in the Carabao Cup where wins over Wigan Athletic and Leeds United saw them progress to the Third Round, however, they were beaten on penalties by Crawley.

The Welsh international joined Stoke City in 2016 following lengthy spells at both Swansea City and Liverpool earlier in his career.

Allen also has 53 caps for Wales having made his debut for his national side in 2009.
