89'
Izquierdo gets in March's way as he makes a run inside from the right. Both sides struggling to keep the ball at the moment.

77'
D. Williams enters the game and replaces J. Hogg.

76'
Huddersfield aren't pressing and Brighton aren't showing any urgency in possession. The Seagulls are happy to keep the ball at the back and the hosts are happy to get their breath back.
74'
Depoitre tries to chase down a long ball but he can't get there ahead of Dunk and ends up fouling his man.
73'

69'
F. Andone has scored a goal for Brighton & Hove Albion! Assist by S. March.
March's delivery has been spot-on in this game as he bags his second assist of the day.

67'
CHANCE! A wonderful ball forward by Propper finds Izquierdo as he surges into the box in a central position, but he doesn't get a touch on it!

It appears that Hadergjonaj has tucked into midfield, while Smith has taken his place at right wing-back.
63'

58'
Brighton are certainly probing, but they haven't had a really clear chance since the start of the half.

There's a Brighton shout for handball as Dunk heads against Jorgensen from the corner, but the referee had spotted a push from the defender and rightly gives a free-kick Huddersfield's way.

49'
L. Depoitre enters the game and replaces A. Pritchard.
It's a strange time to make a substitution, just a few minutes into the second half, but Pritchard trudges slowly off the field as Depoitre comes on to lead the line.
46'
We're back underway for the second half! No changes to either side yet.
45' +4
S. Duffy has scored a goal for Brighton & Hove Albion! Assist by S. March.
March's delivery was excellent, but Bruno's hard work and quick thinking are to be commended for setting up the chance.
GOAL! BRIGHTON ARE LEVEL! Bruno does exceptionally well to chase down a ball heading out of play and acrobatically play it off a defender for a corner. He then takes it quickly to March who curls a cross in before Huddersfield can get set and Duffy arrives to power a header into the top corner! It's 1-1!
HALF-TIME: HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 1-1 BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION
45' +3
Brighton have so far failed to make their man advantage count and that will be another source of disappointment for Hughton going into half-time.
44'

39'
Bruno Saltor gets yellow.

Huddersfield are currently playing without a natural striker on the field, and atacking midfielder Pritchard is currently the furthest man forward.
36'

32'
S. Mounié goes off after a red card!
RED CARD! Mounie is off! He left his studs in on Bissouma after a heavy touch got away from him but the contact seemed soft. Wagner seems bemused, but his side are reduced to 10 men after a flying start!

24'
BLOCK! March goes on an excellent run from out to in and ghosts his way to the edge of the box before striking a powerful drive that is blocked away! Brighton are starting to ask a few questions of the Huddersfield defence.
23'
BLOCK! Izquierdo gets the ball on the left and cuts inside before unleashing a shot at goal, but it's blocked by Billing from close range.
21'
Hughton looks furious on the sidelines. His side look very out of sorts and need to get themselves going before the game gets away from them.
17'
MISS! The following corner is over-hit to Duffy at the back post and he can only head wide from a difficult angle.
14'
March wins a free-kick off Durm as Brighton start to work their way back into the game.
12'
Hadergjonaj beats Bernardo down the flank and lofts a cross into the box, but Mounie is beaten to it and Brighton come close to launching a counter-attack. Huddersfield stand firm, however, winning the ball back and eventually earning a foul through Durm.
10'
MISS! Mounie tries to double his side's advantage but slices his shot wide of the target. Poor connection.
9'
Pritchard gets down the right well and just about makes it to the byline, but his pull-back into the middle is on the stretch and doesn't reach anyone in the box.
5'
With no apparent injury to Murray, Hughton may be regretting his decision to rest the in-form striker for today's encounter.
3'
Brighton are rattled after that shocking start. The normally reliable pair of Bruno and Ryan made uncharacteristic errors and they are behind as a result.
1'
M. Jørgensen has scored a goal for Huddersfield Town!
We're off for the first half!
GOAL!! HUDDERSFIELD SCORE! It's a nightmare start for Brighton! Billing tosses a long throw in and it comes out to Bruno. The veteran right-back slices a terrible clearance up and back into the middle of the area, Ryan comes out and gets nothing, allowing Jorgensen to rise highest and head in the opener off the inside of the post! It's 1-0 to the Terriers!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Huddersfield Town and Brighton & Hove Albion at the John Smith's Stadium.
The line-ups are out and we'll start with the home side.
Huddersfield substitutes: Tommy Smith, Laurent Depoitre, Elias Kachunga, Ben Hamer, Ramadan Sobhi, Isaac Mbenza, Danny Williams
Brighton XI (4-2-3-1): Mat Ryan; Bruno, Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Bernardo; Davy Propper, Yves Bissouma; Solly March, Pascal Gross, Jose Izquierdo; Florin Andone
Brighton substitutes: Beram Kayal, Glenn Murray, Leon Balogun, Anthony Knockaert, Jason Steele, Gaetan Bong, Jurgen Locadia
Huddersfield XI (3-5-1-1): Jonas Lossl; Mathias Jorgensen, Christopher Schindler, Terence Kongolo; Florent Hadergjonaj, Aaron Mooy, Jonathan Hogg, Philip Billing, Erik Durm; Alex Pritchard; Steve Mounie
And breathe! There's the half-time whistle and we've had plenty of drama so far! A terrible Bruno clearance and poor decision-making from Ryan saw Jorgensen power a header in off the post inside the first minute. They were then reduced to 10 men when Mounie saw a straight red card for a late challenge, and conceded in the last minute of added time after Bruno's quick corner allowed March to find the head of Duffy, who powered a header home! It's 1-1 at the break!
Brighton will hope their equaliser on the stroke of half-time proves a springboard for their second-half performance. They have been poor so far and have not looked the better side even after Mounie's sending-off. Hughton looked visibly frustrated with his players throughout the half and wil no doubt get into them during the break. Huddersfield now face the challenge of deciding whether to settle for what they have or pursue a winning goal.
Thank you for joining our coverage, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until next time, goodbye!
Huddersfield travel to Bournemouth next as they look to get back to winning ways, while Brighton host Crystal Palace.
