    It's been a lively start in South Yorkshire, and the hosts came close to opening the scoring when Chiedozie Ogbene narrowly failed to get on the end of a teasing cross from Kieran Sadlier.

    Brentford are under way in their first league game at the Brentford Community Stadium.

    Just one change for either side. Emiliano Marcondes comes in for the injured Mathias Jensen for the Bees, while Isaac Mbenza replaced Ben Jackson for the Terriers.

    Brentford are without Said Benrahma and Karlan Grant is not in the Huddersfield squad either. Both men have been linked with moves away from their respective clubs.

    First chance of the day at the Riverside goes the way of the hosts as midfielder George Saville fires narrowly wide in front of the 1,000 Boro fans.
