Collins has missed the last two matches after twisting an ankle in training, but he could be back in contention. Should the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international prove his fitness it will leave manager Lee Clark with several selection dilemmas following the recent arrival of four new players at the Galpharm Stadium. Australian Dean Heffernan, fellow defender Neal Trotman and striker Nathan Eccleston all made their home debuts for the Terriers in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Carlisle, while centre-half Krystian Pearce was an unused substitute. Winger Anthony Pilkington returned to Clark's line-up against Carlisle after injury, while Nathan Clarke, Lee Novak, Robbie Simpson and Danny Drinkwater are all pressing for recalls to the starting XI.
