Huddersfield Town host Yorkshire rivals at the John Smith's Stadium looking to retain their position at the top of the SkyBet Championship.

With Norwich City and Newcastle United both recording victories on Saturday afternoon, David Wagner's men find themselves lying in third position in the table.

A bumper crowd is expected for the mid-day encounter which will be played out in front of the SKY cameras with Town looking for a third successive league win as well as to maintain their 100% home record so far this season.

In terms of team news, Joe Lolley is the only long-term absentee with Aaron Mooy coming through international duty with Australia unscathed.

For Sheffield Wednesday, goalkeeper Keiren Westwood is expected to return after missing the game against Brighton with a thigh problem but Owls boss Carlos Carvalhal is also hoping to have Daniel Pudil, Sam Hutchinson and Lucas Joao available.

Signing Out

Well that’s it for today’s LIVE Blog in what has been a frustrating day for Huddersfield Town.

There 100% home record may have gone with the 1-0 defeat but I guess all things come to an end eventually and sitting in third position with 25 points from 12 matches is still something to be proud of.

We’ll be back on Wednesday night as David Wagner’s men will look to bounce back with victory against Preston North End at Deepdale.

Until then, keep following the Examiner website, the Examiner Town Facebook pageand@ExaminerHTAFC for all the latest Town news, views and opinion.

FT: Huddersfield Town 0 Sheffield Wednesday 1

The referee blows the final whistle and Huddersfield Town’s 100% home record has ended on a frustrating afternoon at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Referee Graham Scott walks off to a number of boos and he had a poor game today but in all fairness Town never made it count when they were on top - too often let down by their final ball.

On Cue...

Gary Hooper walks extremely slowly off the pitch as he is replaced by Glenn Loovens.

GET A MOVE ON!!

Added Time

Three additional minutes to be added - which I suspect Sheffield Wednesday will look to waste as much as possible.

Great Save!

The Hefele substitution has seen Town’s formation thrown out the window - and they were nearly undone there....Hooper slipping Palmer in one-on-one with Danny Ward but once again the keeper stands tall.

Town Pressure

77 Minutes: David Wagner’s men are really piling on the pressure now in search of an equaliser - Jack Payne’s volley from a corner is cleared.

BUT there is alway danger at the other end as great defending Tommy Smith stops Gary Hooper doubling Wednesday’s advantage!

Media View

Here’s what former Huddersfield goalkeeper Matt Glennon had to say about the penalty on BBC Radio Leeds.

The issue I have with that penalty is that the referee didn’t give it straight away and neither did the linesman.

The referee waited three, four, five seconds before giving it.

When you are that close to a player when he shoots then the referee has to be sure it’s a penalty and I don’t think he can be.

Substitution

70 Minutes: David Wagner shuffles his pack after that setback - Jack Payne replaces Kasey Palmer.

The game has by-passed the on-loan Chelsea youngster today.

Huddersfield Town 0 Sheffield Wednesday 1

68 Minutes: And he coolly dinks it over the diving Danny Ward! The Owls go 1-0 up...

How did that happen I hear you ask? The ball came into the box from a corner and Tom Lees’ shot cannoned off Rajiv van La Parra’s arm.

The referee did hesitate before blowing it - looked contentious from my angle.

Penalty!!

The referee has given a penalty to Sheffield Wednesday - Forestieri to take it....

The game has just gone a little bit quiet, both sides seem to have lost a little bit of momentum.

Town Pressure

53 Minutes: Now it’s Town with pressure through a series of corners - crosses from Tommy Smith and van La Parra being cleared.

Post!

49 Minutes: Massive roar goes up from the travelling Sheffield Wednesday fans as they think they’ve opened the scoring - but the ball hits the post!

It is Forestieri feeding off a speculative long ball forwards before going one-on-one with Danny Ward, dinking the ball over the keeper but the post coming to the rescue.

Phew, that was close.

Half Time Analysis

Here’s our take on the opening 45 minutes...

  • Share

HT: Huddersfield Town 0 Sheffield Wednesday 0

It’s been an entertaining opening 45 minutes between two very good, well-coached and disciplined sides - Town with the best of the possession and chances but perhaps having a feeling that the final ball is just not quite clicking at the moment.

Stick with us for more half-time analysis....
