It's a Premier League return to the John Smith's Stadium this afternoon as Huddersfield Town host fellow newly-promoted side Brighton & Hove Albion (kick-off 3pm).

And after suffering four consecutive league defeats, boss David Wagner will be hoping for some home comforts to get his side back to winning ways.

West Yorkshire victories over Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion and a narrow defeat to champions-elect Manchester City should give his side enough confidence coming into the encounter to believe they can reverse the current run of poor form.

A victory would take the Terriers above their visitors with the Seagulls coming into the game on the back of a heavy 5-1 home defeat to Liverpool and looking for their first win in four league outings.

Bringing you all the coverage from the Premier League clash at the John Smith's Stadium is Blake Welton with expert analysis from Rory Benson.
