Huddersfield Town v Blackpool: Build-up, team news and live match updates

Proper Boxing Day encounter, this.

Seasiders deservedly ahead but they might feel their lead could be greater. Saying that, the home side are still well in this and are having their moments.

The ball is crossed into Pool’s six-yard box but James Husband does well to head it clear.

Jordan Gabriel brings down Duane Holmes on the edge of the Pool box with a real rash late challenge, which he’s deservedly booked for.

Ollie Turton heads well over from Harry Toffolo’s corner.

Almost half-time now.

Sonny Carey’s vicious swerving shot from the edge of the box is well saved by Lee Nicholls.

Huddersfield work the ball to Duane Holmes down the right, but Keshi Anderson carries out his defensive duties well and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

TEN minutes have been added on at the end of the first-half due to that recent stoppage.

In other news, it appears Huddersfield still have three substitutions remaining as Tom Lees was brought off the pitch with concussion.

James Husband gives away a needless free-kick by the touchline for shoving Duane Holmes to the ground.

Tom Lees is stretchered off the pitch to applause from both sets of fans following an accidental collision with Gary Madine.

Former Seasider Ollie Turton replaces him.

There’s a stoppage in play to allow Huddersfield’s Tom Lees to receive treatment.

The Huddersfield players and fans weren’t happy the game was allowed to continue despite Lees going down in the Blackpool box with what appears to be a head injury.
