    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    You wonder if Liverpool loanee keeper Kamil Grabara may well have found himself otherwise occupied this weekend, if he'd not joined the Terriers on a season-long loan deal in July.

    The Reds have something of a goalkeeper injury issue at the moment, although Adrian is hopeful of starting against Southampton on Saturday.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham carve out a really nice move, started by Anthony Knockaert, sweeping from right to left, but it ends with left-back Joe Bryan firing a shot from a very tight angle straight at Kamil Grabara.

    There's been plenty of aggression in this game so far, and some neat football at times too, but it's been a bit lacking in terms of efforts on target.

    The Terriers have won just one of their past 13 league games against Fulham, losing eight.

    But they did win 1-0 at home to the Cottagers in the Premier League last term.

    It was one of only three wins all season and it came at the John Smith's Stadium in a night game... An omen for the hosts tonight?

    Terence Kongolo defends really well to first stand up Anthony Knockaert and then block a shot from the Fulham winger.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham centre-back Alfie Mawson is in some pain and it seems he was struck in the, erm, gentlemen's area... By a powerful Alex Pritchard strike at goal.

    Ouch, ouch, and ouch again... But he'll be all right.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Huddersfield whip a corner in towards Terence Kongolo at the near post and he nods it wide. He's claiming that it should be another corner and he's actually got a point - the ball appeared to come off a red shirt. But the referee says 'goal kick'.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    There are a few groans from the home stands as Huddersfield are forced to play the ball all the way back to their keeper Kamil Grabara from what was an attacking position in the final third.

    Good pressing from the visitors.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Both teams are looking to attack as much as they can, but they've both just been lacking the right final ball in the past few minutes, which has seen moves break down at both ends.

    Good game, though.

    Fulham break quickly thanks to a good ball from Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ivan Cavaleiro creates room for himself to shoot, but his low shot is held by Kamil Grabara.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Huddersfield play the free-kick short to the edge of the area and it works well initially but then Terence Kongolo is caught offside, so nothing comes of the chance.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15 mins

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Down the hosts' left, Alex Pritchard beats Steven Sessegnon to the ball and the Fulham teenager - on his league debut - just catches the Huddersfield man.

    He kicks the ball away in frustration too and he's booked. Free-kick to the hosts, in a dangerous area.

    Huddersfield have scored just six times from open play in their 17 league games under Jan Siewert, with both of their goals so far this season coming from penalties.

    Fulham have edged the possession so far tonight.

    Up the other end, Ivan Cavaleiro bends an effort just wide after a good Fulham move.

    It's been a decent start.

  15. Postpublished at 8 mins

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Huddersfield's Alex Pritchard cuts inside from the left and fires a low shot towards the near post from outside the box.

    Fulham keeper Marcus Bettinelli is confident enough to leave it... But it's actually not too far away, almost hitting the outside of the post.

    Inside the ground, it sounds like the home fans like what they're seeing from their side so far tonight. The hosts look really up for this.

    Tom: Jan isn't in trouble just yet, but he's losing the fanbase and quickly, we've stuck by him as we do all managers however he was booed off after Lincoln (and didn't come over to appreciate the Cowshed) is of serious alarm. He's in need of wins! And quick

    Huddersfield 0-0 Fulham

    Huddersfield make a really positive start and they play in a very dangerous early cross from the right-hand side, which deflects to Lewis O'Brien at the far post, but Steven Sessegnon makes an important early block on his league debut for Fulham, keeping out O'Brien's shot.
