England's most famous football competition, the FA Cup, enters the 3rd round stage tomorrow afternoon with the inclusion of footballing sides from the countries top two football flights; The Premiership and The Championship. One side looking to dump one of those sides out of the competition are Huddersfield, as the League One side look to overcome 2nd placed Championship side West Bromwich Albion

The Home side have the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from, where as West Brom will travel with illness concerns over midfield star Graham Dorrans, Jonas Olsson and Marek Cech. 

Robert Koren is also likely to remain sidelined with a knee injury, whilst Joe Mattock and goal keeper Scott Carson are both available for selection after completing bans.

Despite being both clubs having long and fruitful histories, Huddersfield and West Brom have only crossed paths in the FA Cup on one occassion prior to this.  In 1929 they met in the quarter finals of the competition, with Huddersfield running out as eventual 2-1 winners after a replay.  The Terriers were the knocked out of the cometition during the semi finals, courtesy of Bolton Wanderers.

West Brom reached the semi finals of the competition during the 2007/08 campaign, where they were pipped to a place in the final by Portsmouth in a 1-0 defeat at Wembley.
