Matchday 10 is almost upon us in the Championship and this weekend's Saturday lunchtime match takes place at Molineux as Wolverhampton Wanderers host Huddersfield Town.
Both sides are on three-game unbeaten runs in the league and will be keen to extend that to four ahead of the second international break of the season.
Wolves
After four September games without a win, Wolves earned a much-needed victory on Wednesday night as their numerical advantage told in the second half against Fulham.
Cottagers midfielder Tom Cairney was sent off for a rash challenge in the first half and the visitors scored three times in 22 second-half minutes to put the game to bed and climb back into the Championship's top half.
Adam Le Fondre was on the end of Cairney's lunge, but he recovered to put Wolves ahead before Sheyi Ojo and James Henry added classy strikes to seal victory.
Before Tuesday's match there was the news that club owner and chairman Steve Morgan had put the team up for sale, and chief executive Jez Moxey today admitted that it would be an "enormous challenge" to find an appropriate buyer.
At home, Kenny Jackett's me have lost only once in their last 12 league games at Molineux, winning seven, and that defeat was when they squandered a 2-0 lead against Queens Park Rangers last month.

Huddersfield
The Terriers started the season with a run of six winless matches to lie near the bottom, but they have recovered in recent weeks with two wins and a draw to move within five points of third place.
Back-to-back wins and six goals in the wins over Charlton Athletic and Bolton Wanderers showcased attacking flair, while in their last match they showed resolve to fight back and earn a point against Nottingham Forest.
Emyr Huws's equaliser was somewhat fortunately deflected in off the crossbar, but the midfielder now has four goals in three games, spearheading Huddersfield's improved form.
Interestingly, Huws's goals have come from his only four shots on target this season, and his current form has seen him return to the senior Wales squad for their crucial upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers.
That draw against Forest was last Thursday night, so Huddersfield will have nine days' rest - five more than Wolves - going into this match.
Although Huddersfield have only conceded 11 goals in nine games, they are one of just two sides - the other being Brentford - who are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.

Head To Head
The away side has won the last three meetings between these two, with Wolves claiming a 4-1 victory at the John Smith's Stadium in their last encounter in February.
In fact, Wolves are without a home win against Huddersfield in eight league games (L4 D4), with the last victory coming in November 1988.
Coady, now of Wolves, scored in both games last term, adding Huddersfield's third in the victory at Molineux exactly a year ago today before scoring an own goal in the reverse fixture.

We say: Wolves 2-1 Huddersfield
Despite having much less rest, Wolves should enter the match full of confidence after the convincing win at Craven Cottage and might prove too strong for the Terriers.
