Huddersfield have taken 29 points from a possible 39 at home this season.

Of 13 visiting sides, only Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan have won a league game at the John Smith's Stadium in 2016-17.

Chuba Akpom, who joined Brighton on loan from Arsenal earlier this week, is on the bench for the Seagulls this evening.

Ben Smith: Shout out to the 200+ Brighton fans who have had to abandon their trip to Huddersfield due to M23 closure.

The motorway was closed in both directions earlier today while repairs were carried out. I'll do my best to keep those unfortunate Brighton fans up to date with events in West Yorkshire.

Huddersfield have lost just twice at home this season, while Brighton have only lost twice away in the Championship.

But the most recent of those was against Preston at Deepdale on 14 January. And, coupled with their FA Cup fourth-round exit at non-league Lincoln last weekend, they go into tonight's game looking to avoid a run of three straight away defeats.

It's an impressive record that French winger Anthony Knockaert has in league matches against Huddersfield.

Four of those goals came for Leicester in the 2012-13 season, while he also scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for Brighton against the Terriers in September.

When these two teams met at the Amex in September, Huddersfield were the Championship leaders, only for Anthony Knockaert's deflected, late goal for the Albion to hand the Terriers their first league defeat of the season.

It proved to be the first of a run of six defeats in 12 league games for David Wagner's men, but they have turned the corner again since and are now on a run of just one loss in 11 league and cup games.

It was a different story for Brighton, who were knocked out by non-league opposition.

Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens misses tonight's game with injury. Could he be a key absentee for the Seagulls?

Huddersfield: Ward, Smith, Hefele, Schindler, Lowe, Hogg, Mooy, Kachunga, Brown, Van La Parra, Wells.

Subs: Coleman, Whitehead, Holmes-Dennis, Lolley, Quaner, Stankovic, Palmer.

Brighton: Stockdale, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Pocognoli, Knockaert, Kayal, Norwood, Murphy, Murray, Hemed.

Subs: Walton, Huenemeier, Tomori, Sidwell, March, Skalak, Akpom.

Huddersfield have made nine changes to their starting line-up from Saturday's 4-0 FA Cup fourth-round win at Rochdale. The only two survivors are Izzy Brown and Elias Kachunga.

But Brighton have adopted pretty much the same selection policy. The only two players in their starting XI who also started in Saturday's FA Cup exit at non-league Lincoln are Glenn Murray and Oliver Norwood.

With 89 minutes gone at St James' Park last night and Newcastle leading 2-1, it looked as if Brighton would be starting tonight back in second place in the Championship.

But Ciaran Clark's last-minute own goal against QPR, depriving Newcastle of all three points, kept the Seagulls on top and now gives them the chance to put a daylight between themselves and the Toon.

Victory against fifth-placed Huddersfield would send Chris Hughton's side four points clear with 18 games to go.

It's been a pretty horrible, wet, windy miserable day throughout the country. But hopefully in West Yorkshire tonight we may have a sporting contest to lighten the gloom.

The always exciting sight of the iconic John Smith's Stadium lit up before a night match, coupled with the fact that fifth-placed Huddersfield tonight host the Championship leaders Brighton, offers a lot of promise.
