The Blades lost 2-1 against the Terriers when the two sides last met in competitive action at the Galpharm Stadium in March 2001.

Former Blade Martin Smith put the hosts in front in the 25th minute, only for Carl Asaba to cancel that strike out ten minutes later.

The game looked to be heading for a draw, until ex-Rotherham striker Delroy Facey won it for Town with twelve minutes remaining.

Chris Lucketti, who is currently in his second spell at Huddersfield after a stint at Bramall Lane, played for the home side along with former Barnsley star Dean Gorre.
