Blades face Terriers as Leyton Orient meet Bournemouth
The Yorkshire derby between Sheffield United and Huddersfield takes top billing on a busy night of action in League One.
It is an important evening at both ends of the table with ten games taking place but, with four of the top seven teams not playing, there is an opportunity for
Sheffield United to strengthen their position at the summit.
Danny Wilson's Blades are unbeaten in their opening seven games and can put distances between themselves and the chasing pack by beating fifth-placed
Huddersfield, who are also yet to taste defeat.
If Sheffield United lose, then
Brentford could capitalise on Charlton and Milton Keynes Dons' inactivity by climbing from fourth to first with a home win over mid-table
Colchester.
There is a huge clash at the bottom as
Leyton Orient, without a win so far this season, tackle a
Bournemouth side on a five-match losing streak.
Exeter have also endured a miserable start to the season and will be looking to climb out of the relegation zone by getting the better of ninth-placed
Notts County at St James Park.
Scunthorpe were plying their trade in the Championship last term and have struggled to adjust to life back in the third tier, failing to win a match so far ahead of their clash with fellow strugglers
Rochdale.
Another game between sides languishing at the wrong end of the table pits
Yeovil up against
Wycombe at Huish Park.
Walsall lock horns with
Oldham as both teams strive to clamber into the top half, while
Chesterfield and
Bury are also badly in need of points ahead of their meeting at the B2net Stadium.
In mid-table clashes,
Tranmere entertain
Carlisle at Prenton Park and in-form
Sheffield Wednesday travel to
Stevenage.
