Huddersfield are out for revenge when they take on local rivals Leeds in Saturday's West Yorkshire derby, says midfielder Conor Coady.

Coady, 21, who scored the winner at Wigan on Saturday, did not enjoy the last meeting between the two sides at Elland Road in September when Huddersfield were thumped 3-0.

"It's a massive derby on Saturday," Coady told the club's official website.

"We have bad memories of the first game against Leeds from earlier in the season and we want to put that right as a team, so we'll go out looking to put in a good performance.

"We're a better team than we were in September, without a doubt. I think fans will have been able to see the team get better and the confidence grow."

Huddersfield, hopeful of a sell-out 20,000 crowd, are five points better off in the table than Leeds, who are two places above the relegation zone and bidding for their first league win on the road since mid-September.
