Town are set to embark on a busy run of games over the Christmas period.Tomorrow's clash at Rotherham United is the first of five matches that the Terriers will play in the space of 16 days.

Town head into the busy spell sitting ninth in the League One table, on 28 points from 20 matches played, four points outside the playoff places, and we've taken a look at the teams that the Terriers are set to face over the upcoming Christmas and New Year schedule.

Tomorrow - Rotherham United (A)

The Millers sit 15th in the League One table, on 24 points from 20 matches played.

Matt Hamshaw's side started the season slowly, taking eight points from their opening ten matches, before winning three games on the bounce in October to move them up into mid-table.

A nine-game league unbeaten run was halted with a 3-0 defeat to Blackpool last Wednesday, with the Millers now heading into tomorrow's clash off the back of consecutive losses, having also been beaten 1-0 by Plymouth Argyle last time out.

Hamshaw's side have won four, drawn four and lost two of their ten league matches at the New York Stadium so far this term.
