Huddersfield Town entertain Swansea City at the John Smith's Stadium in what promises to be a mouthwatering Premier League encounter.

Carlos Carvalhal brings his side to West Yorkshire having collected 17 points from the nine games while the Portuguese boss has been in charge at the Liberty Stadium.

With both sides level on points but the Swans ahead courtesy of a superior goal difference, it promises to be a tight encounter this afternoon.

David Wagner's side welcome back Aaron Mooy to the first-team squad after recovering from a cut to the knee against AFC Bournemouth last month.

However, Michael Hefele is out for up to eight weeks after having surgery, while Terence Kongolo is likely to miss the next two games with a hip problem.

Meanwhile, Leon Britton has a slight back issue with Renato Sanches also out with a hamstring problem.

Bringing you all the pre-match news and extensive match comment and analysis is Blake Welton with expert analysis and opinion from Rory Benson.

HT: Huddersfield Town 0 Swansea City 0

The referee blows for the interval - it’s been all Huddersfield Town so far, especially after the 11th minute dismissal of Swansea City’s Jordan Ayew for a terrible challenge of Jonathan Hogg. An interesting second-half awaits!
