- 0' The game is set. Huddersfield Town AFC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Philip Billing suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It’s high time David Wagner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
