The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Liverpool were flying high after becoming the first English team to beat Manchester City this season. However, they came crashing back to earth last week, suffering two defeats on the bounce. They lost 1-0 to Swansea on the road, while they were knocked out of the FA Cup by West Brom at Anfield at the weekend. Jurgen Klopp's men cannot afford another poor result against the Terriers in a tight battle for a top-four place.
Huddersfield are facing their first pressure period of the season having failed to register a victory in the Premier League in their last six matches. David Wagner's men have lost their last three games on the bounce, while the FA Cup did not offer relief as they were unable to defeat Birmingham, forcing a replay at St Andrew's. The Terriers need a positive result tonight to swing momentum back in their favour.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Huddersfield and Liverpool at The John Smith's Stadium.
Huddersfield subs: Smith, Coleman, Van la Parra, Pritchard, Ince, Quaner, Hefele.
Liverpool subs: Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mignolet, Ings, Solanke.
Wagner left out the majority of his starting players for their clash against Birmingham at the weekend. Steve Mounie, Terence Kongolo, Florent Hadergjonaj, Chris Lowe and Jonathan Hogg retain their places in the side. Jon Lossl, Christopher Schindler, Mathias Jorgensen, Aaron Mooy, Philip Billing and Laurent Depoitre all return to the fold.
STAT ATTACK! Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in each of their last six meetings in all competitions with the Terriers – the last Liverpool goalkeeper to fail to keep a shutout against them was Jim Furnell in April 1962.
STAT ATTACK! Huddersfield are winless in their last 11 matches in all competitions against Liverpool (D3 L8) – last beating the Reds in November 1959 in the second tier.
Klopp has made six changes to the side that was beaten at the weekend by West Brom. Loris Karius replaces Simon Mignolet between the sticks. Virgil van Dijk drops to the bench as Dejan Lovren replaces him, while Andrew Robertson and Joe Gomez return in the full-back slots. James Milner and Jordan Henderson come back into the fold ahead of Georginio Wijnaldum and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
HALF-TIME: HUDDERSFIELD 0-2 LIVERPOOL
Liverpool take a huge stride towards securing the three points as Roberto Firmino's strike has put them two goals to the good against Huddersfield. The Terriers have battled well, but were undone by a slice of misfortune as Emre Can's shot from distance deflected off the legs of Philip Billing to find the net. With seconds remaining in the first half, Firmino found space in the left inside channel and buried his effort into the tightest of spaces to double the Reds' advantage.
FULL-TIME: HUDDERSFIELD 0-3 LIVERPOOL
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Liverpool ease to victory this evening as goals from Emre Can, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah secure a comfortable 3-0 win over Huddersfield. The Reds needed a response following a run of back-to-back defeats and Jurgen Klopp got it from his players as they controlled the contest from start-to-finish. The Terriers were too passive and failed to exploit Liverpool's defensive deficiencies, allowing the visitors to canter to the three points.
