    Brentford are level!

    A quick throw allows Sergi Canos to cross from the right and the header is brilliantly hooked off the line by Naby Sarr.

    The ball is kept alive on the left and a scuffed shot falls for Mads Sørensen to poke into the bottom-left corner.

    Back underway in West Yorkshire.

    Let's hope for a little more action.

  3. Coming uppublished at 13:37 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    HT: Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    The season coming to the sharp end and lots to look forward to on Easter Monday.

    Middlesbrough v Watford is the pick of the matches but there's plenty of interest at the top and bottom of the table.

    Follow it all, as ever, with us here at BBC Sport.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:24 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    Not the greatest half of football but it's Huddersfield who lead.

    Lewis O'Brien's third goal of the season after those defensive errors has put the Terriers in front.

    Brentford haven't played with much fluency but have had a couple of moments and should have had a penalty.

    A really frustrating opening period for Thomas Frank's side.

    Can Thomas Frank inspire his side to a comeback in the second half?

  5. CLOSE!published at 13:22 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    But the extra minutes may work for Brentford.

    A long throw from the left is really well flicked on by Ivan Toney to the far post.

    Bryan Mbeumo can't quite turn it in going for a low header.

  6. INJURY TIMEpublished at 13:20 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    We don't particularly need more time added on to this half but those earlier injuries give us four minutes of stoppage time.

    These lunchtime kick-offs can often be a bit sleepy and this is very much one of them.

    Huddersfield have done very little since the goal and Brentford have created just the one chance so far.

    Still, a sunny day!

    Ivan Toney's mood isn't going to improve after that penalty appeal.

    He appears to be shoved in the back by Naby Sarr but the referee blows for handball against him!

    No doubt Sarr will be having another chuckle to himself after escaping that shout for handball earlier.

    A better move from Brentford.

    They work it down the left and there's a useful cross to the top of the penalty area.

    Two players get in each other's way but it falls for Christian Nørgaard to strike on his left foot.

    But it's high and wide.

    Still not much fluency to this game and it hasn't been the easiest watch for half an hour.

    Brentford showing some better signs and having a bit more ball but just that one chance so far.

  11. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 13:03 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    Now then, Ivan Toney is screaming for a penalty for Brentford.

    A long ball over the top is cushioned back to his goalkeeper by Naby Sarr inside the area.

    But has he cushioned it with his arm?!

    Nothing from the linesman on the near side who looked to have a clear view.

    Huddersfield might have got away with one.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 13:01 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    First chance for Brentford.

    Space for Sergi Canos on the top of the penalty area and he slips through Vitaly Janelt on his left foot.

    The angle isn't the best and his low shot is well saved by a sliding Chris Schofield.

    Nothing comes of the corner.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 12:58 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    The hosts forced into an early change here.

    Alex Vallejo is forced off and Juninho Bacuna replaces him.

    Neat play from Hudderfield down the right and Duane Holmes swings over an inviting cross from the byline.

    Lewis O'Brien can't quite reach it and Brentford scramble it away for a corner.

    Ivan Toney is there to head away the corner for the Bees.

    A really bitty opening to this game. Neither side has particularly settled. Lots of broken play.

    Now another injury break with Brentford's Sergi Canos going down.

  16. Postpublished at 12:47 British Summer Time 3 April 2021

    Huddersfield 1-0 Brentford

    What a start for Huddersfield with an exceptionally cheap goal.

    Brentford send a cross in from the right with their first attack but a flicked header is no bother for Ryan Schofield in the Huddersfield goal.

    Lewis O'Brien (7 mins)

    My word what a shocker for Brentford.

    They fail to clear an innocuous ball towards the edge of the penalty area.

    Mads Roerslev then slips, allowing Lewis O'Brien to nip in and catch David Raya off-guard in the Brentford goal.

    He simply slides it in from 20 yards out.

    The goalkeeper has come to try and collect the initial ball forward and was wrong-footed as the shot came in.

    Demeaco Duhaney has his pocket picked almost as the last man on the half-way line.

    A very fortunate foul is given and Huddersfield escape.

    No sooner are we under way than the game stops for an accidental clash of heads.

    A player from either side down and both looking uncomfortable.

    A little behind schedule, we're under way.
