Blackpool v Huddersfield Town - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Blackpool 0-3 Huddersfield Town
- Seasiders aiming to make it back-to-back league wins
- Ollie Turton set to make his return to Bloomfield Road after surprise summer exit
8 - Disappointing
Luke Garbutt takes the 25-yard free-kick, but shoots well over. Angle was always going to be difficult for a left-footer.
7 - Free-kick
Tyreece John-Jules is fouled five yards outside the Huddersfield box and Pool have a free-kick in a great shooting position.
All came after Shayne Lavery had won the ball back high up the pitch.
5 - Great atmosphere
Richard Keogh is given a few boos from the Huddersfield fans as he shepherds the ball out of play. The defender spent time with the Terriers in the Championship last season.
Both sides are making plenty of noise here early on.
3 - Even start
Both sides are looking to get on the ball in the early stages, but nothing noteworthy has happened so far.
The North Stand is in fine voice once again - as it it needs saying anymore.
1 - Concern
Tyreece John-Jules takes a knock to his left foot with the first action of the game, but it appears he’s able to hobble on and continue.
The Arsenal man is playing on the left wing this evening, with Shayne Lavery partnering Jerry Yates in attack.
The teams are out
And kick-off is moments away.
The atmosphere is already building nicely. Can the Seasiders build on Saturday’s magnificent display against Fulham and make it back-to-back league wins?
We’ll soon find out - up the mighty Pool!
A pleasant surprise
Gary Madine has surprisingly been named on the bench for Blackpool for tonight’s game against Huddersfield.
The striker had initially been left out of Blackpool’s 25-man squad that they had to recently submit to the EFL following the closure of the transfer window.
But clubs are now able to register injured players at any time, as long as it’s 24 hours before a fixture.
Madine has endured a nightmare 2021, having gone under the knife during the summer after a niggling groin injury plagued the second half of his 2020/21 season.
But the striker has recently returned to training and is now fit enough to be named in Blackpool’s 18-man squad.
