Not much to shout about in the early stages at Turf Moor.

Both sets of fans making plenty of noise, though.

We are under way at Turf Moor.

If you're just joining us, a reminder of how the two teams line up this afternoon...

Burnley XI: Pope; Ward, Tarkowski, Mee, Lowton; Brady, Cork, Defour, Hendrick, Arfield; Wood.

Subs: Legzdins, Vokes, Barnes, Berg Gudmundsson, Westwood, Bardsley, Long.

Huddersfield XI: Lossl; Lowe, Schindler, Jorgensen, Smith; Mooy, Hogg, Ince, Sabiri, Kachunga; Depoitre

Subs: Green, Malone, Billing, van La Parra, Hadergjonaj, Hefele.

Referee: Chris Kavanagh (Manchester).

Both managers had plenty of nice things to say about one another during the build-up to today's game.

Asked about opposite number David Wagner, Burnley boss Sean Dyche said: "He [Wagner] has done a terrific job and continues to do so on early-season showing. He'll be well aware the challenge of the Premier League is over a season.

"Beyond Saturday - because our job is to go and beat them - you're pleased for what they're doing and how they're achieving things.

"It brings a different feeling to football when the smaller clubs do well amongst the big super powers of the Premier League. It brings a nice, diverse mix to what the league is about."

Meanwhile, of the Clarets and their manager, Wagner said: "What Burnley and Sean [Dyche] have achieved over the last four or five years shows how important consistency is in football to achieve success.

How long will the niceties last this afternoon?

Yes, we're only a few weeks into the new season but who'd have thought this would be a meeting between the sixth and seventh best teams in the country?

With five of their eight points having been earned on their travels, the Clarets have probably even pleasantly surprised themselves - they took just one point from their first 11 matches on the road last season.

Burnley were the only newly-promoted side to survive in 2016-17 and perhaps significantly they didn't lose to either of the other two, Hull or Middlesbrough.

Huddersfield will be acutely aware of the significance of games against sides with recent Championship experience, and though Manchester United, Spurs and Liverpool loom in the next month, it's matches like this one which matter most."

Head-to-head:

• This will be the first top-flight meeting between the sides since March 1971, when Burnley won 1-0 away.
• Huddersfield's only league win in nine attempts at Turf Moor since the clubs last met in the top flight came in the Championship in February 2013, when James Vaughan scored the only goal.
• Burnley have won their last three encounters against Huddersfield.

Burnley:

• Burnley have made their best start to a Premier League season with eight points after five matches.
• They faced a total of 86 shots in their last three league matches - 28 more than any side - but conceded just twice.
• Three quarters of Burnley's Premier League points since the beginning of last season have come at Turf Moor - 36 of 48.

Huddersfield Town:

• Huddersfield's opening-day win at Crystal Palace is their sole away victory in 17 top-flight matches, losing 11 of them.
• The Terriers have scored only one goal in their last four games in all competitions.
• Four of Huddersfield's five Premier League games this season have been goalless at half-time, more than any other side.

Burnley's best results this season have come away - at Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham - and they have struggled for goals a bit at Turf Moor.

But you always know what you are going to get from Sean Dyche's Burnley team, which is hard work and organisation, and I think the Clarets might just edge this one.

Prediction: 2-1

This will be the first top-flight meeting between Burnley and Huddersfield since March 1971. The Clarets won that game 1-0.

Huddersfield's only league win in nine attempts at Turf Moor since the clubs last met in the top flight came in the Championship in February 2013, when James Vaughan scored the only goal.

Burnley will be hoping it is not a West Yorkshire double for them after they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Leeds midweek.

Sean Dyche will be even more gravelly than normal if that happens.

Burnley make one change to the team that drew 1-1 at Anfield last weekend, with Jeff Hendrick recalled after a thigh injury; he replaces Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

Nick Pope keeps his place in goal, with new goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard not in the Clarets squad.

Jon Walters remains out with a knee problem, while ex-Huddersfield striker Nahki Wells is not yet available following ankle surgery.

Burnley XI: Pope; Ward, Tarkowski, Mee, Lowton; Brady, Cork, Defour, Hendrick, Arfield; Wood.

Subs: Legzdins, Vokes, Barnes, Berg Gudmundsson, Westwood, Bardsley, Long.

Huddersfield make one change to the side that drew 1-1 against Leicester, with Jonathan Hogg in for Danny Williams who has been ruled out with a fractured foot.

Steve Mounie, Collin Quaner, Kasey Palmer and Jon Gorenc Stankovic are also out, but Rajiv van La Parra makes the bench.

Huddersfield XI: Lossl; Lowe, Schindler, Jorgensen, Smith; Mooy, Hogg, Ince, Sabiri, Kachunga; Depoitre.

Subs: Green, Malone, Billing, van La Parra, Hadergjonaj, Hefele.

Hello and welcome to our live text coverage as Burnley host Huddersfield.

The Clarets have made their best start to a Premier League season with eight points after five matches while only the two Manchester clubs (two) have conceded fewer goals than Huddersfield (three).

Those impressive stats mean that - with five games played - this a meeting of the sides in seventh and sixth. Who thought we'd be saying that when the fixtures were released in June?

So, without further delay, let's take a look at how the two teams will line up at Turf Moor...
