    Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton really should be level but Andone's chance doesn't appear to have knocked the Terriers off their stride.

    David Wagner's side have the ball again and are knocking it about confidently in the centre of the park.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton

    So close to an equaliser!

    Shane Duffy's header is saved by Lossl but the ball lands at the feet of Florin Andone, whose goal-bound effort from point-blank range is blocked on the line by Jonathan Hogg.

    Huge let-off for the hosts.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton

    Having barely got out of their own half in the opening 10 minutes, the visitors are beginning to see more of the ball.

    Bruno finds a pocket of space on the right-hand side and fizzes in a low cross but the hosts manage to clear the danger.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton

    Steve Mounie - who has scored all three of Huddersfield's goals against Brighton in the Premier League - turns and thumps a fierce shot just over Mat Ryan's crossbar.

    The Terriers have absolutely flown out of the traps here.

    Chris Hughton is not a happy bunny in the Brighton dugout.

    The 59-year-old is marching up and down his technical area, barking instructions at his players.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton

    That early goal has certainly got the crowd going inside the John Smith's stadium.

    Brighton have failed to settle, and Bruno - having failed to clear Billing's throw-in a few moments ago - has just sent a hopeful long ball out of play.

    Sums up his team's start to the game.

    GOAL - Huddersfield 1-0 Brightonpublished at 1 mins

    Mathias Jorgensen

    What a start!

    Brighton fail to clear Philip Billing's long throw-in and Jorgensen takes full advantage, rising highest to head in off the post and give Huddersfield the lead inside a minute.

    That's the fastest Premier League goal so far this season.

    Steve Mounie, meanwhile, has scored all three of Huddersfield's Premier League goals against Brighton.

    The striker scored both goals in a 2-0 home win against the Seagulls last December before earning the Terriers a point in a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium in April.

    What do Glenn Murray, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling all have in common?

    The trio have all netted seven league goals so far this term, making them the joint-leading English Premier League scorers this season.

    Murray scored his seventh of the campaign against Leicester last weekend but is only on the bench today.

    Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "It is unusual for somebody of Glenn's age to be as regularly fit as he is, and of course scoring goals at the highest levels.

    "He has a great desire to want to continue playing and at the best level he can, and also scoring goals. But it's one thing saying that and another actually doing it. So we're very thankful that he is actually doing it."

    Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner: "Back-to-back wins in the Premier League are so difficult to achieve for clubs like us.

    "We know this is something very big - we have done this only twice in the last season and now we have the opportunity to do it again, at home, against a very good opponent."

    Brighton boss Chris Hughton knows his side should have beaten Leicester last week, after leading 1-0 against a team who were down to 10 men for so long.

    This is a tough game for the Seagulls, against a Huddersfield side who will be full of confidence after beating Wolves, and have now taken seven points from their past three games.

    Prediction: 1-0

    Glenn Murray has to settle for a place among the Brighton substitutes at the Kirklees Stadium.

    The veteran striker’s omission is one of three changes by manager Chris Hughton, with Yves Bissouma, Florin Andone and Solly March all handed recalls.

    Anthony Knockaert and Beram Kayal also drop to the bench.

    Brighton XI: Ryan, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo, March, Propper, Bissouma, Izquierdo, Gross, Andone

    Huddersfield have leapt from the bottom of the table to 15th on the back of an unbeaten three-game run which has brought seven invaluable points.

    However, they are still just two points above the relegation zone and must know that survival - if it comes - will be by the skin of their teeth based on points taken in games like this.

    Huddersfield v Brighton (15:00 GMT)

    A run of seven points from three matches has lifted Huddersfield away from the foot of the table in recent weeks, but with teams around them starting to pick up more points the pressure is on David Wagner’s side to keep this mini-run going.

    Chris Hughton's Brighton, meanwhile, remain in the relative safety of mid-table, six points clear of the bottom three. They have failed to win a league game since October, however, while only Cardiff and Fulham have collected fewer away points in the Premier League this term.
