HUDDERSFIELD 0-1 LIVERPOOL | SALAH

21: Mohamed Salah looks to break for the visitors but Schindler anticipates the change in direction and makes a sliding challenge. That could have been curtains if he’d timed it wrong.

18: There’s just NO energy in this Liverpool side right now. We’re used to seeing Jurgen Klopp’s side flying into challenges and pressing but there’s been precious little so far.

15: Thwack! Chris Lowe bravely sticks his head in the way of Joe Gomez’s shot and hits the deck in agony. Don’t worry, he’s patched up on the sidelines and back on the field.

12: There are some encouraging sings for Huddersfield. The first being Liverpool’s inability to make any runs behind their back five, and the other is Billing – who looks right up for this today. The midfielder fires another long throw into the area; this time Lovren heads it behind for a corner.

9: Wooosh! Now that would have been headline news. Van Dijk rolls it back to Alisson, who takes an eternity to get rid of the ball. Depoitre chases and blocks the clearance for a corner. That really could have gone anywhere.

6: No real pattern to play in the past couple of minutes. Liverpool aren’t clicking, Huddersfield aren’t clicking… it’s click less.

3: Right then, how have things started I hear you asking. Well, Huddersfield have started brightly with a few nice exchanges going forward. There’s a bouncing atmosphere inside the stadium – I think they believe something special is going to happen tonight!

HUDDERSFIELD 0-0 LIVERPOOL

1: And we’re underway! So much talk about this match in the build-up with injuries, form and Nations League arguments – but it’s time for action.

For Liverpool to win the Premier league they’ll need strength in depth – so time for Xherdan Shaqiri, Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana to show what they’re capable of!

Twitter round-up

George: If Liverpool want to genuinely contend for the league title this season then today is an absolute must win game.

Tom: Liverpool supporters hoping for a 6-0 thrashing of Huddersfield here should remember it was David Wagner’s birthday yesterday so Jurgen Klopp probably won’t want to batter him too much!

Firmino: Need to make a big statement today, especially with Manchester City battering Burnley. I’m going for 1-4 Liverpool.

Not being biased are you, Firmino?

Team news

Huddersfield, chasing their first win of the season, include Philip Billing in their starting XI after he recovered in time from an ankle injury, while Isaac Mbenza is named on the bench.

The starting XI…

17:05: And here come the line-ups! Jurgen Klopp starts Daniel Sturridge and Xherdan Shaqiri with Roberto Firmino on the bench and Sadio Mane out of the squad completely.

17:00: Hello everyone, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Huddersfield vs Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp and David Wagner share one of the closest friendships in football and they will go head to head at the John Smith’s Stadium when Huddersfield take on Liverpool.

Klopp’s Reds have stuttered after making their best-ever start to a Premier League season, but remain unbeaten and could return to the top of the table if they return to winning ways after successive league draws.

Huddersfield will set a new and unwanted club record of seven straight home games without scoring a goal if they fail to end their drought in front of their own fans.

Team news and line-ups? Why not…
