0' In just a few seconds John Smith's Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Huddersfield Town AFC and Preston North End FC.
5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Carlos Corberán might look to freshen things up shortly.
10' It looks surprising Preston North End FC does not make any changes. Daniel Johnson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Preston North End FC that had 378 games and scored 414 goals.
20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ben Whiteman suffering a number of foals already.
25' A quiet spell here at John Smith's Stadium. Huddersfield Town AFC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.

61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joshua Earl made 378 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
64' Controversy at the stadium! Ben Whiteman argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
68' That is a Yellow card for Huddersfield Town AFC. Naby Sarr will be fuming at that decision.
