    Huddersfield 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Huddersfield have responded well since going behind and Steve Mounie has another headed effort at goal.

    The Terriers are getting a lot of joy down the left hand side, and Chris Lowe whips in another ball for the striker, but his header doesn't threaten Wayne Hennessey.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Wilfried Zaha is almost at the double, this time from a more central position, but his effort lacks the power to trouble Jonas Lossl this time around.

    The away end erupt into a chorus of 'he's just too good for you'.

    GOAL - Huddersfield 0-1 Crystal Palacepublished at 37 mins

    Wilfried Zaha

    Absolute class from the Ivorian.

    He picks the ball up on the far side before setting off on one of his typical jinking runs.

    After knocking the ball between two defenders, he enters the Huddersfield box before bending the ball past a diving Jonas Lossl, into the side netting.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)

    Chris Lowe pings a deep free-kick into the Palace box once more, and there's a scramble inside the area before it's cleared away.

    Huddersfield haven't shown much of a clinical edge so far, despite some nervy defending by Palace.

    Huddersfield deliver the resulting free-kick into the Palace box from the far side, but the ball evades everyone, and goes out for a goal kick.

    The visitors look shaky from set pieces.

    It's all got a little bit nasty over the last few minutes as Wilfried Zaha responds with a late lunge of his own on Florent Hadergjonaj. The Palace talisman sees yellow for that one.

    You can't escape it. You talk about Crystal Palace, you talk about Wilfried Zaha. He's got everything they need to win, they look to him for goals, when a Palace player gets the ball they look up for him. He's half their team.

    Slight delay in proceedings here as Steve Mounie receives some attention from the physio.

    Luka Milivojevic barges the Huddersfield striker from behind, but Lee Mason keeps his cards in his pocket.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Palace definitely have a threat on the counter with the pace of Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend - but Huddersfield are still seeing much more of the ball.

    The home side are being buoyed by their noisy supporters.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)

    Steve Mounie has just had the best chance of the game so far.

    Chris Lowe delivers a delicious cross into the Palace box and Mounie rises above his marker to meet the ball with a firm header, but it just sails over the bar.

    Good chance for Huddersfield!

    Huddersfield 0-0 Crystal Palace

    We've just had the first sight of Wilfried Zaha this afternoon as the Ivorian shows some neat footwork to evade a couple of defenders, before the ball escapes him and trickles out for a goal kick.

    He's definitely the one to watch.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 11 mins

    Huddersfield 0-0 Crystal Palace

    James McArthur picks up the first booking of the game for a late tackle on Florent Hadergjonaj. That was clumsy more than anything malicious but he'll have to be careful for the next 80 minutes.

    Palace finally enjoy a sustained period on the ball, but Mamadou Sakho plays the ball straight out of play under little pressure.

    My third entry of the match follows on from the first two - it's Philip Billing with a throw-in down the left yet again.

    This time he plays a short one-two with Aaron Mooy before whipping the ball into the box with his left foot, but the ball is headed away by the Palace defence.

    Huddersfield having more of the possession in the early exchanges.

    The Terriers have another throw-in which offers Philip Billing the chance to launch the ball into the box once more.

    It looks like this might be a ploy for Huddersfield today, but Palace clear the danger this time.

    Bright start by the hosts who win a throw-in deep in the Palace half.

    Philip Billing delivers the ball into the visitors' box and the it's headed on to Elias Kachunga in front of goal, but he is judged offside.

    Roy Hodgson, who celebrated a year in charge of Crystal Palace this week, will be desperate to have Wilfried Zaha back for this one - Palace have lost their last 12 Premier League matches in which their key man hasn't featured.

    Christian Benteke's knee injury takes the struggling striker out of the spotlight for now - will Jordan Ayew seize the chance to impress?

    Huddersfield are still hunting for their first win of the season, and scoring goals remains a familiar problem. Superstitious fans will hope referee Lee Mason's late call up to replace Graham Scott will provide them with luck - Huddersfield have won just once in 11 matches with Scott in charge.
