Huddersfield hope to have Izzy Brown and Philip Billing available for their crunch Yorkshire derby at home to fellow promotion-chasers Leeds, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 11.30am on Sunday.

Brown picked up an injury in Thursday's 3-1 home win over Brighton and manager David Wagner admits it will need "further investigation".

Wagner is, however, optimistic that Brown will be back in time and that Billing - who sat out the Terriers' success against the table-toppers because of illness - can return too.

Defender Liam Cooper, who was sent off in the FA Cup defeat to Sutton, is available after serving his suspension as Leeds look to gain revenge for the home loss to Huddersfield in September.

Leeds boss Garry Monk also has loan signings Modou Barrow and Alfonso Pedraza in his squad after the pair were ineligible for the midweek win at Blackburn.

Barrow previously worked with Monk at Premier League side Swansea and has signed until the end of the season, while Villarreal winger Pedraza has been on loan at CD Lugo in the Spanish second tier.

Defender Charlie Taylor remains sidelined with the Achilles injury suffered at Brentford before Christmas.

Prutton's prediction

This is a tough one to call. Leeds got that last-gasp win against Blackburn but you can't get away from the derby element. Whether all the players understand it or not, the fans will let them know how big an occasion it is.

Huddersfield have been good at home this season and Leeds have been good at grinding out results so I can't see anything separating them.
