    Huddersfield's latest effort could be translated as a show of frustration setting in, as Philip Billing tries his luck with a shot from some 25 yards which goes well over Joe Hart's crossbar.

    If you're a Huddersfield Town fan, this is becoming a frustrating afternoon.

    The visitors have had better chances, but again fail to make it count as Laurent Depoitre misses his touch from 12 yards after a cross from the right squeezes past James Tarkowski.

    A theme is starting to emerge as Huddersfield again do their best to find space in the Burnley box from a Philip Billing cross...

    But when the ball falls to German full-back Erik Durm, it's hacked high and wide.

    More territory and possession for the visitors in Burnley's third of the pitch, but again it comes to nothing.

    Rajiv van La Parra plays a neat one-two with Alex Pritchard before curling an effort over the bar from just inside the area.

    Burnley 1-0 Huddersfield

    Another chance for Huddersfield comes and goes.

    Laurent Depoitre counters for David Wagner down the right, cutting the ball back to Danish midfielder Philip Billing on the edge of the area, but once again James Tarkowski gets across to block.

    GOAL - Sam Vokespublished at 20 mins

    Burnley 1-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield haven't started this game badly, but they are behind at Turf Moor.

    It all comes from a Burnley free-kick just inside the visitors' half which falls to Johann Berg Gudmundsson. The Icelandic international's delivery is guided plum onto the forehead of Sam Vokes who makes no mistake in beating Jonas Lossl.

    That is Vokes' first goal at home in the Premier League since May 2017.

    Burnley 0-0 Huddersfield

    It should be 1-0 to Huddersfield Town.

    Aaron Mooy steals the ball from Burnley captain Ben Mee and squares it to Laurent Depoitre in clear air in front of goal, but England international James Tarkowski gets across to block the shot.

    This is turning into a good open game at Turf Moor.

    Johann Berg Gudmundsson sees his corner get caught among the bodies before Huddersfield clear the danger.

    At the other end, a good spell of pressure from Huddersfield.

    First, Joe Hart has to palm away a dangerous Aaron Mooy cross with Rajiv van La Parra lurking at the back post.

    Matthew Lowton then blocks a Mooy volley from the resulting corner before Jonathan Hogg drills just over from the edge of the area.

    As I was saying...

    Burnley go close to the opener as Johann Berg Gudmundsson races down the right and feeds the ball back to Ashley Westwood, whose cross is met by a firm Sam Vokes header straight at Jonas Lossl.

    The sun is shining down on Turf Moor but it hasn't been the brightest start on the pitch just yet.

    However, James Tarkowski had to be alert to head clear a decent Chris Lowe delivery from the left.

    The two teams are making their way out to the pitch at Turf Moor.

    Burnley are in their usual claret and blue home kit, with Huddersfield in their blue and white striped home kit.

    Almost exactly a year ago, this fixture was played at Turf Moor between clubs occupying positions in Europe, with Huddersfield in sixth and Burnley in seventh.

    The pair went onto achieve their pre-season aims (and more in Burnley's case) but it has not been smooth sailing this time round.

    After a sluggish start, Burnley look to have found their way out of the fog with consecutive victories.

    But Huddersfield are still without a win. In fact, they're seven points worse off than this time last year.

    A first victory is going to have to come soon if they're to stay in the top flight for a third season

    The issues that Huddersfield have got are not going to go away, and it is already looking like it will be a long, hard season for them.

    They will get a break one day, but I don't see it happening on Saturday.

    Prediction: 2-1

    Sean Dyche makes one change to the Burnley side that won 2-1 at Cardiff City last time out, with Ashley Barnes preferred over Matej Vydra.

    James Tarkowski also starts, having recovered from a groin strain that saw the England man withdrawn during the early stages of the win in the Welsh capital.

    Steven Defour misses the game because of a personal issue, while winger Robbie Brady is not yet fit to return.

    Meanwhile, David Wagner makes one change to the side beaten 2-0 by Tottenham, with Terence Kongolo (hamstring) dropping out and Rajiv van La Parra coming in.

    Christopher Schindler (knee) has passed a fitness test but Danny Williams, Abdelhamid Sabiri, Ramadan Sobhi and Tom Smith all remain sidelined.
