    FT: Huddersfield 0-1 Liverpool. The visitors take the spoils from the John Smith's stadium, as Mo Salah's first half strike is enough to take the victory back to Merseyside. A slightly harsh result for Huddersfield, who played well but could not create that one clear-cut chance to equalise.
  • 93'
    CHANCE- Diakhaby straight into the action, he whips a great ball across the front post but Depoitre guides a dipping header wide of the far post.
  • 91'
    Huddersfiled change- Diakhaby on for Hogg in the last throw of the dice.
  • 89'
    CHANCE LIVERPOOL- Firmino has a go this time, but he blasts his effort way over the bar from the edge of the box.
  • 88'
    CHANCE LIVERPOOL- Salah breaks into the box, but Lossl smothers the ball at his feet and gathers the danger. The winger nearly sealed the game for his side there.
  • 86'
    Liverpool break from the set piece and a resulting corner, but a loose pass sees their move intercepted and cleared for a throw in just past the halfway line.
  • 84'
    Freekick to Huddersfield here for a Firmino handball. They have a chance to load the box here...
  • 82'
    GOLDEN CHANCE FOR HUDDERSFIELD. Dejan Lovren cannot sort out his feet in the box, and Mounié pounces on the ball only to fire his effort over from 8 or so yards out. That was a great chance to equalise there!

  • 77'
    Final change for Liverpool, as Firmino replaces James Milner . Perhaps an attacking move to see out the game, or even rest Milner, who is today back from injury, ahead of Champions League action this week.

  • 69'
    Changes galore!! Lallana is replaced by Fabinho for Liverpool, and Mounié comes on for Billing and Mbenza comes on for Harding.
  • 68'
    Play has been halted here as Adam Lallana recieves treatment. He may need to be replaced here...
  • 63'
    CHANCE LIVERPOOL- Salah breaks past the Huddersfield back line but he drives a low effort just wide of the far post! Opportunity missed there for the 'Reds'.
  • 62'
    Salah is fouled by Hogg, but the Egyptian, after a heavy fall, seems to be fine to continue.
  • 60'
    CHANCE LIVERPOOL- Van Dijk gets on the end of a corner ball at the back post, but his volleyed effort is saved well by Lossl in the Huddersfield net.
  • 58'
    Liverpool are building up a head of steam here. A nice interchange with Wijnaldum sees Shaquiri reach the by line but the Swiss' cross is cleared for a corner ball. Huddersfield deal well with the resulting set piece.
  • 55'
    CHANCE HUDDERSFIELD- the hosts break down the right hand side and play a cross into the middle of the Liverpool penalty area. Depoitre connects well with the header but can't put enough power behind it to direct it beyond Alisson. The Brazilian gathers well and clears the danger.
  • 51'
    An end to end start to the second half here. Neither side has had a prolonged period of possession as of yet. It seems both teams are trying to draw each other out and play on the counter attack, but they are cancelling each other out so far.
  • 50'
    Wijnaldum down following a strong challenge from Huddersfield's Hogg. The Dutchman seems ok to continue.
  • 47'
    CHANCE LIVERPOOL- The visitors break away and Robertson's effort is blocked. Another effort from Sturridge is fired way off target!
  • 46'
    And we're back underway here in Huddersfield, with the match finely poised. Liverpool carrying a one goal advantage.
  • 45'
    SUBSTITUTION LIVERPOOL- Wijnaldum comes on at half time to replace Jordan Henderson in the midfield.
  • 45'
    That's half-time! Liverpool go in with a slender lead!
  • 43'
    The ball is in the back of the net but the flag is up! Pritchard's effort won't count. Replays show it was tight but the right call.
  • 40'
    The first real opening for Huddersfield but it's wasted after Billing's poor touch.

    There teams are out on the field to a raucous atmosphere in Huddersfield and we are almost ready to go!
  • PRVW
    The 'Terriers' haven't beaten Liverpool in the last 12 meetings between the two sides in all competitions (W0, D3, L9).
  • PRVW
    Huddersfield have not won in 12 Premier League games (W0, D5, L7).
  • PRVW
    Huddersfield boss David Wagner: "We have to focus on ourselves, absolutely. The good thing is I know more of what is in the opposition manager's head than I usually know; this is the only good thing. But how we prepare, how we analyse and our meetings will be like we do with all our opponents, with maybe a little bit more knowledge of what is going on in the opposition manager's head, nothing more."
  • PRVW
    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "I'm not worried by Dave's situation at Huddersfield but I'm not worried about us going to Huddersfield. It will not be an easy game, it will be the opposite. If we do our best, and do what we are good in, it will be difficult for Huddersfield. That is clear."
