Juninho Bacuna hits the deck hard after an aerial challenge with Alireza Jahanbakhsh. The game stops for a while. but the Terriers' player grits his teeth and carries on.

A Bacuna foul on the left gives Brighton a free kick chance deep inside the Huddersfield area.

It's knocked away at first, but the hosts are quickly pressing again with Alireza Jahanbakhsh's teasing cross drifting over from the left and just eluding everybody - it's finally roused the worried home support.

Worrying signs for Huddersfield as Jonathan Hogg limps off with a physio in attendance.

Aaron Mooy looks to be getting ready to come on - but then Hogg trots back into the fray. We'll see how that pans out...

Anthony Knockaert cuts on from the right wing to curl the ball over the box. Shot? Cross? Either way it misses everybody and floats into the stands.

A lovely pass from Terence Kongolo threads its way through to Steve Mounie, who crosses across the six yard box, but Mathew Ryan flops down to cut it out.

Huddersfield very much the better side so far.

Yves Bissouma gets the biggest cheer of the day so far for a stirring tackle on Alex Pritchard to end another long spell of Huddersfield possession.

Brighton looking for a knock-out blow today, such has been their lack of punch recently. Perhaps Chris Eubank Junior, a pre-match guest on the pitch, can serve as inspiration for Chris Hughton’s side.

He also exchanged a few hugs and high fives with the Brighton team, and let a few of the young matchday mascots hold his title belt. Classy stuff.

The home fans are urging their side to get on with it after being pegged back in their own half for a while - there's a sense of tension around, without a doubt.

It's fairly aimless to begin with, but then Huddersfield have a decent spell of keep-ball in Brighton's half.

It looks promising until Erik Durm, on the left , cannot control a long ball from Philip Billing and the ball runs out for a goal kick.

And we're under way at the Amex Stadium, with Huddersfield kicking off in their red and black away kit.

I know Huddersfield had a good win over Wolves in midweek, but if you don't beat the Terriers at home, then you are in trouble.

I think Brighton will get the three points they need, which would be a welcome result.

Prediction: 2-0

Brighton’s match against Huddersfield is a must-win, they need the result but also the momentum. Their form has been bad and they need results to get their heads above water.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh is making his first start in the league since 3 November. The 25-year-old Iranian has yet to score for the Seagulls since signing from AZ 67 Alkmaar last year,

Juninho Bacuna was one of eight Huddersfield players swapped last Tuesday, but he's back in today for just his eighth league start of the campaign.

And there's no sign of Jason Puncheon on the Terriers' bench, following reports this morning, external that the on-loan Crystal Palace player has been told to stay away from training following a rumoured 'training ground bust-up' with manager Jan Siewert...

This fixture could be billed as the biggest of the season so far for Brighton.

After beating Everton in their final game of 2018, Brighton had 25 points from 20 matches.

Two months and seven league games later, the Seagulls have gained just two more points.

Huddersfield are still a long way from safety, but the last-gasp victory over Wolves has given them the faintest glimmer of hope.

These two clubs came up from the Championship together in 2017, and a rare away win for Huddersfield would increase Brighton's worries that they might also be returning to the EFL.
