Huddersfield welcome Bournemouth to the north on Sunday lunchtime as Eddie Howe’s side look to continue their decent start to the second-half of the season.

A win would take Bournemouth level on points with ninth-placed Everton in the Premier League table while Huddersfield are in desperate need of all three points as they try to get out of a relegation battle.

A win would lift them out of the bottom three – albeit perhaps temporarily – and put seven points between themselves and bottom-of-the-table West Bromwich Albion.

The game will be shown live on BT Sport, with kick-off at 12pm or you can follow all the action below:

GOAL! Huddersfield 1-1 Bournemouth (Stanislas)

13' - Ryan Fraser picks Junior Stanislas out in the Huddersfield box with a lovely cross and the striker makes no mistake with the finish, passing the ball back across goal and into the bottom corner.

Really well worked goal, that.

18' - Bournemouth's Dan Gosling collects the first booking of the match for a cynical foul on Alex Pritchard 30 yards from goal.

Pritchard takes the resulting free-kick but blasts his shot straight into the wall.

22' - Huddersfield have played well since conceding the equaliser. They've enjoyed the lion's share of possession and have looked dangerous with a couple of long balls in behind the Bournemouth defence.

24' - Chance for Huddersfield.

Aaron Mooy delivers a superb cross into the penalty area but centre-back Zanka puts his header straight at Asmir Begovic from inside the six-yard box.

GOAL! Huddersfield 2-1 Bournemouth (Mounie)

28' - The Terriers retake the lead as Steve Mounie heads home from Aaron Mooy's free-kick after Jonathan Hogg was fouled by Lewis Cook.

On the balance of play, you've got to say they deserve to be in the lead.

31' - Off the post!

Steve Cook comes agonisingly close to equalising for Bournemouth but his first-time shot from Charlie Daniels' clever corner hits the outside of the post and goes behind for a goal-kick.

38' - This first half has been really entertaining - and you've not been able to say that too many times this season about matches involving Huddersfield. 

They really are good value for this 2-1 lead and look by far the more likely side to grab the game's next goal.
