One of the best at home vs The best away
By Nathan Jackson

Saturday will prove to be an interesting game given that Huddersfield have only lost twice at home in the league but City now officially have the best away record in the Division having collected 25 points on their travels.
INTRODUCTION
With Tuesday night's win at York, City have now officially become the best travelling side in the division having picked up 25 points on the road. However, Saturday will see a tough test if we are to keep that "title" as the Imps travel to Huddersfield.
EARLIER IN THE SEASON
The game against Huddersfield earlier in the season was one of the best all season with the Imps coming from 1-0 down to beat the Terriers 3-1 and having 2 goals disallowed. Somehow their manager thought we didn't trouble them too much. Erm, if we didn't do that, how come we beat you?
THE IMPS TEAM NEWS
As I say almost eveyr other week, there are no fresh injury worries for the Imps.
HUDDERSFIELD 2003/4
Huddersfield were many people's favourites for the title but very quickly put all those predictions aside as a very dodgy start to the season saw them struggle to hold a top 10 place. However, in recent months, they have finally started showing some promise. This was never more prominent, than a run of 6 wins in a row.
2 weeks ago, they sold Jon Stead to Blackburn for £1 million and after securing 18 out of 18 points, they have only got 4 of of 9 after beating Torquay but only drawing at Bristol Rovers and one of the shocks of the season, a home loss to lowly Darlington.

PREDICTIONS
With my sense of optimism after Tuesday's results, I am quite confident City can pull a result out of the hat here although it will be difficult so I have gotne for the safe prediction of a draw.
