After celebrating a four-goal win over promotion rivals Bolton Wanderers on 14 September, Huddersfield Town came crashing back down to earth with their first home defeat of the League One campaign as they lost to Northampton Town at the John Smith's Stadium.

Things started badly for Michael Duff's men in the opening 20 minutes when centre-back Michal Helik scored an own goal, before goals from Cameron McGeehan and Tariqe Fosu on either side of the half-time whistle put the game beyond the hosts.

Worryingly, Huddersfield have lost four of their last five games in League One, the EFL Cup and the EFL Trophy, including defeats to League Two sides Walsall and Doncaster Rovers, so a positive result against Blackpool will be needed to lift spirits in Yorkshire.

Josh Koroma, who trails only Mansfield Town's Lee Gregory in the race for the third tier's Golden Boot, has scored four goals in six League One appearances for the Terriers so far in 2024-25.

Huddersfield will be desperate to avoid a repeat of their last meeting with Blackpool at the John Smith's Stadium in September 2022, when a lone strike from Canada international Theodor Corbeanu was enough to earn the Seasiders maximum points in Yorkshire.

Blackpool's new era under the experienced Steve Bruce has got off to a flying start, with the Seasiders taking six points from two League One games against Exeter City and, most recently, Charlton at the Valley on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors took the lead through an own goal from Addicks summer signing Gassan Ahadme before midfielder Albie Morgan doubled the Tangerines' advantage before the first whistle, a strike that proved to be the winner against Nathan Jones' men in the capital.

After half a dozen games in the third tier, Blackpool sit 13th in the League One table, three points behind Lincoln City, who occupy the lowest of the play-off places at this early stage of the season.

Having managed just two goals in their previous five campaigns at Bloomfield Road, centre-back James Husband has enjoyed a productive start to the 2024-25 campaign, with the 30-year-old finding the net on three occasions so far this term.

Huddersfield Town possible starting lineup:

Nicholls; Lees, Helik, Lonwijk; Sorensen, Hogg, Hodge, Wiles, Headley; Koroma, Radulovic

Blackpool possible starting lineup:

Tyrer; Gabriel, Offiah, Casey, Husband; Apter, Evans, Morgan, Hamilton; Rhodes, Joseph

Prediction:Huddersfield Town 1-0 Blackpool
